cutting thr frame around the original gas door is not as "work free" as you think. First of all the original door is plastic so it would have to be removed and a metalt plate welded into its place. then the hole cut and the frame reworked. Its just as easy and more of a custom job the way I did mione. But like you say "to each his own" I just wanted mine different than what may be what you call the "easy and simple route".
