Fireplace Grates

A great fire starts with a great foundation. The right fireplace grate keeps logs elevated and properly spaced for airflow, delivering a safer, more efficient, and better-looking burn. Choose from budget-friendly grates for occasional use up to heavy-duty, lifetime-rated grates built to last for years; as a rule of thumb, a heavier grate is generally a higher-quality one.

How to Find Your Perfect Size

Choosing the correct size grate is the first step to a better fire. It's simple to get the right fit:

  1. Measure the Firebox Width: Measure the width at the very front and the very back of your fireplace floor.
  2. Measure the Firebox Depth: Measure the depth from the front to the back.

Pro-Tip: For optimal airflow and a longer-lasting fire, choose a grate that is at least 3-5 inches smaller than your firebox dimensions. If maximizing the amount of wood you can burn is your priority, you can select the largest size that will physically fit.
