fire grate

Fireplace metal frame

A fire grate is a metal framework that holds fuel in a fireplace or furnace, allowing air to circulate beneath for more efficient combustion.

The grate typically consists of parallel bars or a grid pattern that supports logs or coal while letting ash fall through to a collection area below.

We placed fresh kindling on the fire grate before lighting the evening fire.
