The Wagon Wheel Grate series is built from 1/2 inch thick square-bar steel for durability. Their innovative wheel-and-spoke shape lifts firewood off the ground to improve airflow to the fire while the flared tips help contain logs safely on top of the grate.
PLEASE NOTE - FINISH: This grate ships in its natural raw steel finish with no paint or coating - it is NOT painted black. We discontinued the temporary black coating we once applied to our grates: it was only cosmetic protection for warehousing and shipping, and it was never meant to survive the first few fires. Even high-heat paint burns off quickly in a fireplace, so any coated grate ends up looking like raw steel after the first couple of fires. Our product photos are dark and the steel can look black, but your grate will arrive unpainted, and light surface rust is normal - it burns off in use and is replaced by soot and creosote.
To ensure a great fit in your fire pit, please measure the diameter of the inside of your fire pit and select a grate that is at least 1-5 inches smaller.
Please note that due to ever-increasing shipping costs, this item is now available in one-piece or two-piece versions. The two-piece version does not require any assembly beyond placing the two halves of the grate next to each other in the fire pit, and saves a significant amount in shipping costs. However, we will continue to offer the one-piece version for those who would prefer their grate to be built as one piece and are OK with the added shipping costs.
