It is the other way round.
I really like this idea.
You will find that you want a positive charge on the anode, in this case the grill. The negative cathode (radiator) is the thing emitting electrons.
Remember, current flows from negative to positive in reality, the conventional current (+ve to -ve) idea is just too ingrained to be dislodged from collective consciousness.
