Fireplace Grate Ember Retainer,16x10Inches Steel Fireplace Ember Retainer Mesh,Metal Ember Retainer for Use on Fireplace Grates (Large)

Works great in my tiny wood burning stove. Have had several fires and it working great.

The grate is solid and works well. It arrived with one end being slightly bent and I couldn’t bend it back because it is that solid. My fire quality is well worth the investment.

My wood stove has a cast iron grate that melted through the middle, but still has good legs and cross beam structure. I broke off the low hanging yielded metal bars from the old grate and attached this ember retainer on top to span the hole. With some heavy gauge bailing wire (14 gauge) and lineman's pliers, I tied off the ember retainer at six points around the perimeter so it won't move when I clean out the ashes. This also will keep the retainer from bending in the middle when red hot. After several hot fires, the ember retainer is holding up well including the bailing wire at the perimeter. So far so good. This saved the old grate from going into the trash and is a lot cheaper than buying a whole new grate. Be careful that the grate is rather sharp at the edges. The small ember retainer worked perfectly for me.

I’ve been using ember retainers for years, but they are usually thin and have to be replaced each season because they melt through. I hesitated getting this one because it was 50% more expensive than the others. But I’m glad I did because it feels twice as thick as the one it replaced, and I believe it will translate into lasting longer. I’ve had about 5 fires so far and it’s performing great.

This is a very good quality grate but has very sharp edges. I cut myself in several places handling it with bare hands. It will serve well for years in my fire place but handle with care.

I love it. It fits perfectly and my ashes don't fall through the Holes.

Made having fires possible by preventing all of the smaller pieces and kindling from falling through grate. Thank you!!

Great way to burn longer and hotter
