The deep-bed, "basket-style" construction of our Sampson Fireplace Grate keeps the logs safely in where they belong so they won't roll forward. Logs naturally falls into the center of the grate while air circulates freely, enhancing combustion. Adjustable-slope, self-feeding basket with custom-positioning allows you to chose the slope of your grate for optimal fire viewing and maximum burn safety. The self-feeding design keeps the wood and hot coals together, so your fire burns more efficiently. This grate helps your fireplace burn hotter with less smoke, and it radiates more heat into the room. Smaller slots mean less fire-tending: they allow for generous air flow, while keeping hot coals in the grate for maximum, long-term burn of smaller logs and pieces. Heavy-duty cast iron Sampson Fireplace Grate is made for years of dependable use - it won't burn out or warp like other lesser quality versions. Durability and versatility forge its strength! Easy assembly.
