Anyone Know of a Foundry That Does Custom Small Scale Sand C

Anyone know of a foundry that does custom small scale sand casting? I have a vogelzang norseman furnace which is similiar to the hotblasts. It has the cheap thin grates that break easily and also warp easily. I would like to find a place that would cast me a new set of grates that are "redesigned" somewhat. I found a place in Maine, but they don't seem real interested in helping me. They specialize in stove grates and parts so I thought they would be the ones to try. They're name is Auburn stove foundry. Any one know of any others or had experience with a foundry that does good work and are good to deal with??

Thanks!
Ben
