Fireplace Grates

A great fire starts with a great foundation. The right fireplace grate not only keeps your logs securely in place but also dramatically improves airflow, leading to a safer, more efficient, and more beautiful blaze. Whether you're a seasoned fire-builder or just looking to enjoy an occasional cozy evening, this guide will help you choose the perfect grate for the heart of your home.

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.

A Grate for Every Fire: Explore Our Collection

We offer a curated selection of high-quality grates, each designed for different needs and budgets.

  • Heavy-Duty Cast Iron & Welded Steel Grates: A significant upgrade from big-box store quality. These robust and reliable grates offer exceptional value and are perfect for regular use.
  • Hex & Tapered Bar Grates: Designed to hold more wood securely. The unique shape cradles logs, preventing them from rolling and allowing you to build a larger, more impressive fire.
  • Stainless Steel Grates: The ultimate choice for durability. These premium grates are built to withstand extreme heat and are completely rust-proof, making them the only choice for outdoor fireplaces or fire pits.
  • Self-Feeding Grates: Ingeniously designed with a deep, curved U-shape. These heavy-duty grates (weighing up to 33 pounds!) use gravity to keep logs centered in the hottest part of the fire for a more complete and efficient burn with less effort.
  • Pilgrim® Ember Grates: These high-quality grates feature a built-in steel mesh screen that prevents hot embers and smaller pieces of wood from falling through. This creates a hotter bed of coals, resulting in a cleaner, more thorough burn.
  • Lifetime Fireplace Grates: For those who want the absolute best. Forged from massive one-inch steel bars, these are the most durable grates on the market. As the name implies, they are backed by a lifetime warranty, representing a lasting investment in your hearth.
