What's the Purpose of a Fireplace Grate?

Are you looking for a roaring fire? Well, then my next question to you is...Are you using fireplace grate?

Many people have not yet be acquainted with the important role that a fireplace grate plays in maintaining a roaring fire. Fireplace grates are vitally important in helping to keep your fire burning longer. Fireplace grates help to raise your firewood up off the floor of your hearth and allows the air to circulate freely through the firewood. This encourages the fire to burn evenly and helps to keep fumes down to a minimum.

Fireplace grates come in several different materials, but mostly they are made from steel or iron. Steel grates come in different sizes and are built with welded bars. Steel grate designs allow for logs to stay in place and then eventually fall below, which creates a longer lasting fire.

Iron fireplace grates are built a little differently, because they are built with a container-like design. The iron fireplace grate has holes below, which allows the air to flow through the firewood and then passes the heat outside of the fireplace.

As you can see, a fireplace grate not only allows you optimum viewing of your firewood, but it also helps to create that roaring fire you truly deserve! Remember to keep your fire breathing with a fireplace grate!
