The Super Heavy Duty Wagon Wheel Grate series is built from 3/4 inch thick square-bar steel for extreme 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.
Due to its significant size and weight, the 48 inch diameter version of this item is built in four sections. This not only allows for lower shipping costs, but also makes it significantly easier to install the grate and to remove it when cleaning the fire pit. No assembly is required beyond placing the four sections together inside the fire pit.
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.
*Important Note*:We recently discontinued applying the temporary black coating to our grates and now ship them in their raw steel finish. The paint was intended to minimize rusting during warehousing and shipping of the grate. It was not intended to survive the first few fires or continue to protect the grate after installation. As this coating was applied purely for initial cosmetic appearance and is completely unnecessary for the grate to function, we have decided to remove this unnecessary step from our production process to keep costs down and reduce the environmental impact of our grates. This does mean some surface rust is to be expected when the grate arrives, but rest assured this will burn off and be replaced by soot and creosote each time you burn a fire on the grate.
