What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly value the Ember Grate for its exceptional quality and durability.

This robust design significantly improves airflow, leading to hotter, cleaner, and more efficient fires. While the initial price is high, users feel the investment is justified by superior performance and longevity, eliminating the need for frequent replacements. Minor issues with its substantial weight are overshadowed by the confidence in its lasting build and enhanced combustion efficiency.
Know before you buy
The specialized mesh center helps retain smaller embers and coals, preventing them from falling through the grate prematurely. This keeps the heat concentrated under your logs, which promotes a more consistent and efficient burn.
The 4-inch leg height is designed to provide optimal clearance for airflow beneath the logs, which is essential for proper combustion. Before purchasing, measure the height of your fireplace opening to ensure you have enough vertical space for the grate and your logs to sit comfortably.
Channel iron is a heavy-duty material chosen for its structural integrity and resistance to warping under high heat. This ensures the grate maintains its shape and provides a stable base for your firewood over many seasons of use.
You should measure the width and depth of your firebox floor. It is recommended to leave at least 2 to 3 inches of clearance on all sides of the grate to ensure proper air circulation and to prevent the grate from touching the back or side walls of the fireplace.
Yes, the EMBER GRATE is designed to be versatile enough for both applications. Just be sure to verify that your specific stove or fireplace dimensions accommodate the available width and depth options provided.
