» Why Do I Need a Fire Grate?
The question of the and there are many answers.
· Better Quality Burn and an Easier Light - When a fire is on the ground air can’t get to the underside of it. With the help of a fire grate air has access to all sides of the fire and it can burn hotter and more efficiently than ever before. This also allows for an easies light, which means less work for you.
· More Complete Burn and Laziness - If you use a fire grate hot kindling will fall to the ground, allowing the wood above to burn from the bottom up. Also, because of the way fire grates are made, wood is automatically rolled into the middle of the fire. This means, it doesn’t have to be moved around by you all the time. Hence the laziness.
· Fireplace Longevity and Better Ventilation - A fire grate allows the majority of the heat to be raised off the floor. This helps alleviate some of the strain placed on your fireplace floor and in turn, makes it last longer. In addition to this, it will bring the fire closer to the chimney. The closer the fire is to the chimney, the more likely smoke and fumes are to escape out of the chimney as opposed to back into your home. If you are having trouble with a smoking chimney, this may be the solution you have been searching for.
