Grates
Small Prefab Grate
We offer a variety of grates in a variety of sizes. We always have on our truck and trailer the type pictured above which is for the smaller pre-fab fireplaces. It comes in two sizes, smaller for the prefabs and larger for regular fireplaces. We often see grates that are burned out in the center section. This is caused by leaving ashes piled up around the grate. If the ashes are kept cleaned out the grate will last longer as it is able to cool after every fire burns out. The ashes insulate it and keep it hot for many hours and the metal deteriorates because of the constant heat. The type featured above is made of channel iron offering more cooling surface than standard bar steel. It should last longer if cared for properly.
The Sampson Grate has optional sections that can be added. Each section is self supporting and will increase the width of the grate by 7". These grates work very well in conjunction with firebacks and their boots.
Self feeding. Its deeply curved shape lowers burning logs to the grate bottom, rather than letting them tumble out onto the hearth. This eliminates a possible fire hazard, thus the name Safety Grate. 23 3/4" front X 18" back X 15" deep, leg height 2 1/4"
