cast iron grate

Hearth's heavy base

A cast iron grate is a heavy metal framework, typically with parallel bars or a grid pattern, used in fireplaces, stoves, or grills to hold fuel while allowing air circulation and ash to fall through.

Cast iron's durability and heat retention make it ideal for sustained high temperatures: The coals glowed through the cast iron grate.
