Robust stove grates and fireplace grates made of high-quality cast iron, in round and square designs
Our round and square stove grates and ash pans from Kaminladen.de can be conveniently used as robust replacement parts for your existing fireplace and stove. You will also find the right fireplace grate or the appropriate ash pan for individual fireplace construction.
These ash grates are made of cast iron. Stove cast iron is extremely wear-resistant and durable due to its compressive strength. Ideal for use in the firebox and the necessary built-in parts such as fire grates.
What are the advantages of a stove grate?
A stove grate serves the efficient combustion process in the combustion chamber. The ash falls through the slots into the ash pan located underneath. This collects the ash and isolates it from the combustion process itself. This ensures that enough air reaches the logs and wood briquettes from below. The fire is not smothered by a high pile of ash. An ash scraper can also be used to help with this. With shaker grates, this is done more easily using the externally mounted lever. Simply shake it back and forth and the ash is transported into the ash drawer.
How often does a stove grate need to be replaced?
Due to the high temperatures during combustion in the firebox, the square and round stove grates are subject to a high degree of wear. Over time, the fireplace grate will deform. Depending on how much the stove is used, this happens faster for some fire enthusiasts than for others. As soon as the deformation is clearly visible, the cast grate should be replaced.
How do I install the stove grate correctly?
The narrow slotted opening must face upwards. The conical opening must therefore widen towards the bottom. There should be a gap of at least 0.5 cm around the sides of the grate. The grate must be able to expand properly. If the grate cannot do this, a bulge will form after a short time. In addition, care should be taken to ensure that the ash cone does not extend directly beneath the grate during firing. Sufficient air must be able to flow through.
What should I do if I can't find a stove grate in the right size?
A large fireplace grate could be assembled from two smaller stove grates. For example, you could combine a 16 × 28 cm and a 20 × 28 cm grate to create a cast grate measuring 36 × 28 cm.
If, on the other hand, one side of the grate is too long, you can of course also grind down a grate bar using an angle grinder. This is not an ideal solution. But I don't want to have to dispose of my stove just because I can no longer find a stove grate, do I?
