Cast iron fire grate * Smaller pieces of burned wood fall to the fireplace floor through the openings in the grate, creating a bed of hot coals and allowing your fire to burn from the bottom up * Raising the fire off the floor of your fireplace not only creates a hotter fire but helps draft the smoke and fumes out the chimney instead of into your home * Burning your logs on a grate will also add life to your fireplace by protecting your hearth from direct contact with flames * Measures 18.875-inch back width, 23.375-inch front width, 15.125-inch depth
