Description

By far our best selling grate. This unit works amazing in an "average" sized fireplace having a back wall width from 21" to 26", a floor depth of 16" or more, and an opening height of 25" and up. Will work in larger fireboxes also. Commonly sold with the RF-5 Reflective Fireback.

Dimensions:
15" Tall, 21" Wide, 14" Deep. Approximate shipping weight in box: 3/4" construction weighs 30 lbs. 1" construction weighs 53 lbs.

Fireplace size requirements for the M-5 grate:
The rear wall of the fireplace must be a minimum of 21" wide (dimension A), the fireplace floor must be a minimum of 16" deep (dimension B), the height of the fireplace front opening should be a minimum of 25" (dimension C) to allow adequate clearance to easily load firewood onto the grate. If your opening is less than 25" in height or your floor is less than 16" in depth, you should consider one of our shorter "S" series grates instead. See more sizing information on our measuring guide page.


Fireplace construction requirements for the M-5 grate:
It is important to understand that the Wall of Fire grate is a one sided unit. This means that the burning firewood is positioned between the grate and the rear wall of the fireplace. Having the firewood in direct contact with the back wall of the fireplace will significantly increase the temperature of the firebrick and may cause brick and mortar fatigue over time. Because of this we highly recommend you also purchase a fireback to shield the back wall of the fireplace from excessive heat. If you are planning to use a Wall of Fire grate in any non mason built fireplace such as a pre-fab, zero clearance, or metal fireplace, the addition of a fireback is absolutely mandatory.

I purchased the grate for our cabin in Maine, which had an intermittent, but significant smoke problem. Our main home in NC has five fireplaces, all of varying size and configuration. The architect designed them all around the classic fireplace formula—some are very shallow, one open on three sides, one huge, and NONE smoke, ever. So I, being a student of physics, decided that our smoke problem in Maine was pure design and that “moving the fire” toward the back simply wouldn’t work. Can’t rebuild the old stone chimney, so tried the Wall of Fire. Surprise! Not a whiff of smoke! Easier to tend the fire as well: less poking, no logs falling forward. As I watch the smoke, I still believe in physics and think the airflow, when the combustion is held against the back wall, is more laminar, less turbulent, and zips up the flue. You have capitalized on higher order physics. Good job. Greg

Great Fireplace Grate
The name says it all. We have had this grate for 4+ years. Just had the chimney cleaned for the 1st time, and the service man could not believe we had been using for 4+ years 5 days a week during October to March. Ensures great combustion and absolutely works as advertised. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I bought this grate after reading all the reviews and hearing how amazing the amount of heat produced. I feel it puts out the same amount of heat as a fire built on the bricks sans grate. That being said, I throw a few logs on the fire every hour and it tends itself. I use allot less wood with this grate. It provides good heat and if you use the fireback you get residual heat after the fire is out. It does not compare to an insert or wood burning stove but works really well and I love that you do not need to mess with the fire. I would recommend using medium size wood to keep a solid base of coals. Larger pieces of wood seem to take the energy away from the fire. This grate will out perform any fire place grate but does not provide the wood burning stove heat.

Lots to like about this!
I purchased this after spending a cold, rainy weekend with good friends who had this grate and the heavy duty reflective shield. Nothing much to do but build fires, drink wine and tell lies. Wonderful weekend and the fire maintained itself all day. All we did was throw on more wood, lots of it pretty wet from all the rain. I came home, measured my firebox and ordered one. We build fires most every night and I am impressed at how little ash is generated and how little maintenence is involved to keep the fire burning efficiently. My dilemma is whether to spring for the same set up in our other fireplaces. Thank you!

WOW!
I came to Grate Wall of Fire looking for a fireback, but after reading reviews and the product information, I wanted to try this vertical grate. It really works wonders! The fire burns slower but hotter and cleaner. The radiant heat coming from the coal bed is remarkable, especially coupled with the fireback. The fire needs no maintenance now either, just add a log or two an hour and enjoy amazing radiant heat!

I recently moved into a house, which has a large feature fireplace. I went right out and bought a fire basket from the local hardware store. Problem was, when I lit my first fire, the whole house quickly filled with smoke. I found a cure by raising the fire basket up on two large bricks; about 10” high x 6” wide, however, this somewhat defeated the look of the “feature” fireplace. To get any real heat from the fire I had to keep at least 5 logs burning or fire would quickly go out and 8 was best for heat, so wood consumption was high. I found “Grate Wall of Fire” on the net, I was skeptical of the claims of smoke free fire. I decided to give it a go, and sent off - via the “Grate Wall of Fire” website. I ordered a M5 fireplace grate complete with fleur-de-lis and pineapple ornaments and a fleur-de-lis base ornament. To my delight the package arrived within a week, (which astonished me, as I now live in south of France). I unwrapped the packages, (which were very well wrapped) and I was delighted at the quality, it made my previous fire basket took flimsy by comparison. I set up the grate and with ornaments and installed into my fireplace. The result was amazing, it had transformed my fireplace, and it looked stunning! I tried my first fire, and no smoke, it work just like it said on the website. Another nice surprise was the heat was kind of “projected” out into the room and the fire kept burning right to the last log, I also use a lot less wood for more heat. Overall I’m delighted with the Grate wall of fire fireplace and would recommend this product.

Bought this in December when we moved into a new house. This thing works great. Pumps a good amount of heat into the living room without a forced air system (I bought one of the reflective iron backs to go with - highly recommend). Haven't had a single smoke problem. Follow their directions on how to start and feed, and use good, cured wood. Works grate!

Finally a grate that actually allows wood to burn !!!!. Spent the last 30 years flipping logs,fighting backdraft,and using countless forms of tinder. Wish I had this product long ago ,simply light it , and walk away . Backplate makes the perfect combo for heat projection and protection of old refractories. Highly recommend these products. The fluer-de-lis and acorn accessories complete the set .

I highly recommend this product (paired with the metal plate backing) to anyone that burns wood in an open fireplace. Not only it prevents smoke issues and improves the heating, it also makes both setting up the fire and maintaining it a complete pleasure. Just drop a few logs to top off and done. It's well made and I absolutely love it.

What HAVE I been missing?
I lived around the country, both coasts and now in MD. How have I not ever seen one of these ingenious grates before? The grate is upright, meaning that the hot embers are stacked and exposed instead of just laying down facing the floor of the firebox. We use our fireplace outside in the poolside pavilion, and so far have had a great experience being able to watch the games in the late afternoon into the evening without freezing. I can only imagine the performance of these with an inside fireplace. It’s heavy and that’s what I like about it. What is truly amazing is that there is no tending to the fire like when using traditional grates. Stack the wood in, light it, feed it from time to time and enjoy!

I found this product and company while doing a search for solutions to deter smoke from coming through my fireplace screen. I previously had a flat grate and it was disappointing to burn wood because of the excess smoke getting into the house. This grate was perfect!! It does exactly what it says and without the cost of an expensive insert or wood stove. I live in a rental house and wanted to find a cheaper solution, I fOUND IT!! Amazing results for me. I love an open flame and I combined the grate with a reflective fireback. Thank you so much!

My husband had seen this grate at my sister's house and wanted it for years. I got it for him for Christmas and he is in love. For years we were unable to have fires without smoke in the house (well, enough to smell anyway.) This solves that as well as making the fire maintenance-free. All the logs are automatically rolled to the back and stack up to burn. It makes great embers that last forever. I don't know why I was surprised, as it does everything it advertises, but we are both delighted with it. Also, it came very promptly after ordering and the measuring tips/videos on the site were helpful and accurate.

Disappointed
Unfortunately I do not care for my vertical grate. I burn multiple times per week and this has been a disappointment. Sadly, I purchased this back in August and just started burning - well past the 30 day trial or I would return it. This company makes excellent products, but the vertical grate design presents many challenges. Starting a fire is an hour long chore that I have never experienced in 40 years of using traditional horizontal grates. There is no room below for kindling or starters, forcing the use of newspaper and loading the grate with kindling without logs, requiring constant feeding and when finally adding logs, care to avoid smothering. Loading the grate with logs more often than not forces the wedge-shaped grate away from the back of the fire box toward the opening of the box and ultimately onto the hearth if care is not taken to keep lifting logs and pushing it back. This is simply unacceptable and dangerous. The only way to avoid this is with very small logs or using only sticks. While this grate is excellent for holding wood over the coals and keeping smoke where it belongs: in the box - the grate forces all heat up the flue as well. I am not impressed. Two stars for handling the smoke and keeping wood over the coals, but docked three for starting and loading. I have contacting GWOF to see about an exchange.

Grate? Great!
I the HDRF-5 Fireback with the M-5 Fireplace Grate and the pair work great. Fires start easily, throw serious heat, and make no visible smoke or smoke odor (always a problem with our fireplace before) even after burning hard for six hours. And the fire looks good as the flames roll up through the logs in the vertical grate. The heavy duty back and grate combo are sturdy and don't wobble or budge even when I throw a big log on.

Not accustomed to giving reviews but you've done it right and I can't thank you enough. Product quality is superb; website is well-organized with excellent measuring instructions; shipping was free and on time; you also went above and beyond. I thought you had made an error on my ornaments; I received 5 pineapple ornaments and no finial balls. Turns out that errantly ordered 4 pineapples instead of 5 (5 prongs, not 4!) but you knew this and threw in the extra pineapple AT NO COST. As for the finial balls, apparently I did not add them to my cart! I will gladly pay you for the additional pineapple if you'd like, you have my email address. This fits my fireplace perfectly and so happy to have dealt with a company and product that cares about quality and service. I've already told my dentist and others about you...great job!

Excellent Grate
We bought this grate on the recommendation of my sister, who owns one. We have a fireplace in our sitting room that is a bit shallow and tended to smoke a fair amount with a traditional grate. After setting up the Grate Wall of Fire, we have not had any smoke problems. It does take a little adjustment in how a fire should be built to burn efficiently with this grate. Once you figure out what works, though, the fire burns evenly and completely, with the smoke staying well back in the fireplace so that it all goes up the flue rather than into the room.

I had many problems keeping a fire going using a standard grate in my fireplace. I purchased the M-5 grate with a reflective backplate and now after loading the kindling and wood up as described in the instructions the only additional work is to put another log on occasionally. The heat generated in the room is much greater. Word of caution: both pieces were shipped in one box that weighed 80 pounds. The UPS driver off loaded it in the driveway (can't blame him). I had to open the box in the driveway and carry each piece in separately.

I wanted to take a moment to complement this great product!! I have been using the Wall of Fire Grate since September 2016 and it has remained sturdy and durable. There are no signs of failure on the steel. The concept of staking the wood works great and keeps the room warm and comfy. Over the years I have purchase numerous fireplace grates, to only have to replace every year. This even included so called “heavy duty” racks. Thanks again for a great product. Patrick

My chimney sweep recommended a cast iron fireback to help get more heat into the room and prolong the life of the brick in the back of the firebox. I bought a gorgeous one and then couldn't use it because smoke started pouring out the fireplace and damaging the ceiling of my dining room. It's not a very deep fireplace. When my original grate started falling apart, I bought a Grate Wall of Fire grate using their sizing instructions. Not only do my fires start quicker with this grate, the smoke problem is gone as well so that I can use my expensive fireback now. What is really good about this grate is that you can pull it forward if a large log is not settling down into the embers as things burn down--just put on the mitts and pull it forward an inch or two and let gravity settle the wood into a hotter burning on top of the embers. Remember to push the grate back in before loading kindling and wood for the next fire.

After 15 yrs of never being able to have a proper fire that didn’t roll back into our home, a friend showed us his new dual grate. I looked into a product for our use, ordered one, and now after 15 yrs we have a real working fireplace!

Sir
I read all the reviews prior to my recent M-5 purchase. Could these patented grates really be that good I thought? In Arizona, our fireplace is only necessary for a few winter months, mostly for "atmosphere" or comfort on cold mornings. I used it sparingly ...reason: SMOKE in the house! I had the "regular" old grate that came with the house when we moved in five years ago. These grates sit way out from the back wall...hence the smoke is partly directed out into the room, not up the chimney. I was impressed that the M-5 worked as described...NO SMOKE coming into the room! I'm usually a skeptic, but these "glowing" reviews are genuine! BTW, after seeing the grate in operation, I ordered a fire back to complete the process! I definitely recommend this quality product!

Smoke would leak out the front of the fireplace in our modest 1946 home. This grate fixed that almost entirely. We now have fires all the time! Curiously, we now get some smoke in the basement, and I'm told it is because the increased heat from the fire draws air down the other flue to the basement. That captures some of the smoke leaving the fireplace flue. We avoid that problem by opening a window in the same room as the fireplace. I intend to get a chimney expert to look at that situation. I'm happy with the grate.

Smoke Problem
I had a fireplace smoke problem.I had smoke rolling over the top of the fireplace. The M-5 grate solved the smoke problem 100%. Fire starts quickly and burns very well with little tending. I would highly recommend this product.

We were replacing our glass fireplace doors. We discovered our grate had burned through. When we ordered the new doors we purchased a new grate at the store. We had a month before the doors came in and I decided to do a little research and I came across this grate. I returned, unused, the just purchased grate and ordered this one. What a good decision. It has worked marvelously well. I now burn less wood and the fireplace puts out much more heat.

My Grate Wall is GREAT
This thing is terrific! I had never heard of the grate wall of fire but I am now a believer. I can load the grate and it will burn for several hours before I have to add wood. I am very pleased and would definitely do it again. If anyone needs and old style grate that lays on the bottom I have one for sale. I will never go back!

High Quality
High quality, heavy duty. I can tell this grate is going to last a long time. I'm using in an outdoor fireplace -- Does a great job of holding the smoke to the back of my fireplace and out of the "living area". Now that I know the quality of this product, I'm considering purchasing one of their wood racks as well. Highly recommend.

vertical fire place grill, does as billed , more exposed embers , more radiant heat , easy to load wood over the grill. moretime sitting in the warmth and less time tending the fire. Burns through small wood faster but gets through unsplit logs better. well worth the money. one star lost for rate of consumption

It works! What else do you need to say? The coals stay exposed so more heat is radiated into the room. Great concept.

Best evva!
I own 2 one small M-5 I think and the other maybe an M-7 (wider). These are great! Definitely get the reflective fire back. Burns long and even. Wife and I camp out in the family room all weekend long and the GWOF gets the job done.

Bought this 4 years ago and it gives off so much more heat than conventional grates. Just ordered the reflective fireback to replace the stainless steel one I had been using and can not wait to have a fire.

Excellent Product
This product performs exactly as advertised. Coals are exposed at the bottom of the grate to maximize heat output. Airflow is optimized for igniting and completely burning logs while smoke is minimized and kept high and to the back of the fireplace. This product makes starting and tending a good fire dramatically easier and safer.

M-5 Grate
I have never provided a testimonial for a product before, but your fireplace grate and fireback deserve it. Instead of feeling a draft being created by the heat going up the chimney, I now can feel the warmth of my fire radiating out into the room and house. Thank you for a product that makes having an old-fashioned fire in the fireplace a thoroughly enjoyable and cost-effective experience!!!

Wonderful product
Everything about this product - web site, ordering, shipping, and its ultimate performance are terrific. When combined with a fireback, fires are very easy to light and we get much much more warmth from the hearth than we ever did before. There is hardly any poking or prodding of the logs once they are loaded onto the grate. If you enjoy the warmth of a fire, this product will be worth every penny.
