Best Fireplace Grates of 2025

"I found this product to be built like a tank. It has served me well, unlike other inferior grates that sagged. This one is strong, can handle heat, and I highly recommend it for the price."

"After using this grate for two years, I replaced an old one that was falling apart. The new grate is much better quality and I’m very happy with my purchase."

"I was initially disappointed when my grate fell apart after just a few weeks, but the company replaced it, and now the new one is holding up very well. I appreciate the good customer service!"

"I found this grate super easy to put together and it feels strong and sturdy. It fits perfectly in my fireplace and holds the wood nicely. I don’t worry about logs rolling out anymore!"

"After trying various grates over the years, I chose this one because it met all my criteria. The thick bars and excellent spacing make a noticeable difference. I'm very satisfied with this purchase!"

"This grate is just the right size for my fireplace. I can clean the ash underneath without lifting it, and it holds the logs perfectly. I believe it's good quality and will last a long time."

"I was pleasantly surprised it arrived in two pieces. The included bolts and wrenches made assembly a breeze. Once put together, it's very strong and fits over the gas lighter tube in my fireplace perfectly. I hope it lasts a long time."

"So far, putting it together was easy. I don't use my fireplace as my main heat source; I mostly use it for ambiance."

"I haven't used it yet, but I plan to make my first fire this evening. It seems strong and sturdy, and it's a perfect fit for my small fireplace."

"I found the grate to be excellent—the support spacing allows for great airflow. After using it for about five burns, it remains just as strong as the day it arrived. The price is also reasonable compared to other accessories."

"This grate is heavy duty and has proven to be much better than our old one. I'm very satisfied with the value for the price!"

"I really appreciate the sturdy construction of this product. It fits my fireplace perfectly and is exactly what I needed for my fireplace requirements."

"I was super impressed with this! I needed a grate smaller than what I'm used to, and this one arrived in great condition. It's solid steel and holds up well to daily fires. It keeps my wood off the floor and allows for good airflow. The price is excellent, and I would recommend this to anyone!"

"I bought this for a project at our vacation home. Although the fireplace is blocked off, I used this rack to hold LED lights wrapped around logs. It wasn't intended for actual fires, but it looks great in the fireplace. Just be mindful of the size, as it seemed a bit smaller than expected."

"I initially ordered a different size but ended up with the 1/2 inch version, which is perfect for my needs. It's like using the right tool for the job; I appreciate the difference in weight and ease of handling. Overall, it's much better than those heavier options!"

"I’m really pleased with the heavy-duty design of this fireplace grate. It contains firewood well and allows for great airflow, making it easy to start fires. I recommend purchasing the largest size that fits your fireplace."

"I think this grate is made really well. It’s a bit too small for my fireplace, but that’s my fault for not measuring beforehand."

"I absolutely love the cast iron material! It feels much sturdier than the cheaper metals. This is the perfect size for my fireplace, and I believe it will last a long time!"

"I was thrilled with my purchase! I got a 'Used but good' grate at 60% off, and it turned out to be perfect! It fit beautifully into my 36-inch wide fireplace that's 27 inches at the back. This grate is really well-built, reminiscent of something from decades ago."

"After using this grate since March 2017, I can confidently say it lasted 7 years! The only reason I’m replacing it is because the center started to sag from the heat. WOW, 7 years of solid performance!"

"This grate is almost perfect. It's very solidly built and might last a lifetime. However, it's a bit too high for my needs. I ended up cutting 1.75 inches off each leg, and now it's PERFECT! I just wish the manufacturer would consider making it shorter from the start."

"I had an older style hearth with a worn-out chicken wire bottom. This new replacement fits perfectly and I’ve noticed that the burn seems noticeably better. We're using fewer logs per night, likely due to its better design. It's heavier and appears to be well-built. A great purchase!"

"I love the middle legs on this grate that keep it elevated off the fireplace floor. My old one was so warped that it touched the floor, preventing oxygen circulation and causing the fire to burn out and become smoky. The 17” size fits perfectly. If I’d measured, I might have gone for a longer one. It’s good quality with thicker rods for sturdiness. Installation was a breeze—just place it in the fireplace. I recommend this for its quality and price."

"This is exactly what I needed! I appreciate that this grate is solid iron, unlike several others I found on Amazon that were made of hollow tubes. It seems like it should last a long time!"

"I'm really pleased with how it works. It's made from cutting-edge metal, has top-notch welding, and features a heat-resistant coating. After going through some rigorous testing, I found it to be lighter and more flexible than regular materials. It withstands high temperatures, doesn't warp or break, and resists rust. The best part? It doesn't require installation—just set it up and ignite. This wood-burning stove is lightweight and easy to carry, making it my go-to for camping, gatherings with friends, or barbecue parties."

"I’ve used this twice now, and I’ve noticed that it’s already bent from the fire. I really don't think hollow tube steel is the right choice for this. I’ll be requesting a return label."

"When I ordered these, I expected a heavy piece of true cast iron, but what I got was quite lightweight and feels a bit off in a way I can’t quite describe. Given this, I’m not sure how long they will last in a functional fireplace. My first set lasted 15 to 20 years, but these feel a lot lighter. For the price, they might work for specific uses: they could look nice in a fireplace as decoration, be used in a rarely used fireplace or fire pit, or serve as decor in a state park cabin. However, I doubt they’ll hold up in our working fireplace, which we use nightly during cold spells. It gets hot enough to warm several rooms, so I hope I’m wrong. I’ll update my review if needed. Happy log burning!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the solid construction of this product. I do wish I had opted for the 24-inch size instead of the 30-inch, but it fits in my fireplace, so I’m keeping it."

"The grate is nice and heavy, packaged well and arrived quickly. It has an adequate wood holder that allows for great air circulation for the fire."

"This grate is true to size and provides plenty of airflow, which made for some great fires. While it did turn a bit pinkish in spots due to the high heat, it has proven to be a great value overall."
