A fire pit grate is a metal framework designed to hold wood or charcoal above the base of a fire pit. This allows for better airflow, which helps the fire burn more efficiently. Grates come in various sizes and materials, including stainless steel and cast iron, to suit different types of fire pits. Using a fire pit grate can enhance your outdoor experience by providing a stable surface for cooking or roasting marshmallows. Additionally, it helps keep the fire contained and can prevent logs from rolling into unwanted areas, ensuring a safer environment for gatherings.
