Grate Placement and Fireplace Protection
The innovative one-sided design of the Model M-5 places the firewood between the grate and the fireplace’s rear wall. This configuration raises the temperature of the firebrick, potentially leading to brick and mortar fatigue over time. The use of our Reflective Fireback is always recommended and mandatory if using this type of grate in a pre-fabricated or metal fireplace. Please ensure your fireplace is code-compliant and in safe working order before ordering or using this product.
Model M-5 High Efficiency Smoke-Free Fireplace Grate
Innovative One Sided Design
The Model M-5 High Efficiency Smoke-Free Fireplace Grate, measuring 21" wide and 15" tall, is designed to eliminate smoke and boost heat output. It outlasts standard flat grates and fits most "average" fireplaces with a back wall width of 21" to 26", a floor depth of 16" or more, and an opening height of 25" or higher. Ideal for both average and larger fireboxes, this grate’s self-feeding design requires minimal tending, ensuring a consistent and cozy fire.
- 21" Wide
- 15" Tall
- 14" Deep
- 3/4" Construction
Enhanced Airflow and Combustion Efficiency with a Smoke-Free Fire
The Wall of Fire grate eliminates smoke problems by positioning the firewood against the back wall of the fireplace. This setup directs the fire and smoke away from the opening, keeping smoke out of the room. It improves draft performance, addressing issues from short chimneys, shallow Rumford designs, and downdrafts, so you can safely enjoy a fire with the fireplace doors open.

I have spent thousands of of dollars in order to get hear from my fireplace around the whole. With this, my house reaches 89 degrees after 30 minutes of stacking this thing with wood. The design is brilliant and would give it 6 stars instead of the 5. Good job on this guys finally I’m able to be cozy and warm and not get my house smelling like burnt wood.

I debated this purchase because I already had an iron flat grate in my fireplace and it was not an "essential" purchase, HOWEVER, after reading about the product, I decided to try it and have been absolutely thrilled with its function and use. I have used it for the last two months and find that my fires light easier, it is much easier to feed the logs into the fire and the flames stay for the duration of the burn and it absolutely does throw off more heat than I had prior to using this grate. Its very heavy, durable, and well worth the investment!

less mess. This will throw some heat even without fire back inserted

Truly this is well and nicely made. The fireplace seems to put out quite a bit more heat using it. That's not the reason you're interested, though, is it? The main point: YES it DRASTICALLY reduced smoke back-spilling into the room. And to point out ... it did this without ducting or fans or fireplace shrouding or ANYTHING ELSE NEEDED ... JUST THE GRATE. We have now used it three years and it has virtually never failed to keep the fire during hot and beautiful and smoke free. It does have two drawbacks, though I'm sure you can live with them. It does have to be moved out onto the hearth for easier ash removal. Then also you need to either use smaller sized wood or move it forward while adding wood. You could just move it forward and leave it, but that starts to increase the chance of smoke a bit.Originally I reviewed with four stars, but given the cost vs. other smoke control systems (priced in multiples of this product), it's continual almost magical performance, and the fact that after owning it for years it doesn't show the slightest sign of wear ... I was wrong. I needs five stars (at least).

I was hesitant to buy this because of the price, because I live in Texas (short burning season!), and because my fireplace is really just for aesthetics. WOW. I am so impressed! First, the biggest victory: It was so easy to get the fire started—I simply lit my tinder/kindling at the bottom, and soon after things were roaring—no fire starter involved, and no smoke pouring into my house!It was also a welcome change to relax and enjoy the fire, as opposed to constantly getting up and stoking it/rearranging logs. Basically, once things are lit, there is little need to mess with it. I love that!The other bonus is how easy it was to start a new fire over the remaining embers. I had to let things die down so I could run some errands. When I returned, I simply dropped a log onto the remaining coals and stoked it just a bit to get things going again. It didn't take long.I would say it burns very efficiently, but I might actually be going through more wood than before (?) This is likely because, with my old grate, I was constantly having to rearrange and manipulate the logs so they'd burn—thus I ultimately ended up burning less.I did buy the fireback and do not notice a significant increase in overall heat output, but I do notice that it gets hotter a whole lot faster than it did pre-Grate Wall of Fire. Then again, I have a pretty deep fireplace and high ceilings, so I'll likely never see a significant increase in heat output.All in all I am thrilled—just wish I had more time to use it before summer arrives!

Every once in awhile I get the impulse to try something different. Buying the Grate of Fire and Reflective Fireback was just one of those impulses. I started off with a simple desire--to get a grate that wouldn't burn out after two seasons, and then I did some research and got a little more ambitious. I have a medium large masonry fireplace about 30" high and 28" wide in front and 24" wide in the back. The depth is about 22". It is an old and very thick masonry fireplace with a huge smoke chamber that tends to retain the heat due to all the surrounding brick. I didn't really need the reflective back, but I decided to go for the full treatment--and I think it was a good decision because in this system a lot of hot coals are right against the back wall of the fireplace.The bottom line is it works. It is also very expensive, particularly the fireback, and there is no guarantee for how long it will last. I sort of wish I had gone for the thicker fireback, or just bought a stainless steel plate from a metal dealer, and I certainly would have liked the 1" bar grate--at least I could hope that would last more than a few years. Yes, the grate metal thickness is substantial in the regular version at around 35 pounds, but if you are going to spend that much, you might as well make sure it can last. Why don't they offer a guarantee? I am sure that would reassure more customers--5 years for the regular grate, 20 years/lifetime for the thicker grate.ESSENTIALS:- The system is simple and ingenious (yes, you can make one yourself if you have good metal work skills)- The fire is hotter and gets hotter quicker (about 20% better) with significantly less wood (15% to 20% less). All this varies with the kind of fireplace you have.- The fire smokes less- Tending the fire is both a little safer and easierSince we kept this fireplace open for aesthetic reasons, I was especially concerned by how it would look, and it t actually looks very good--visible hot coals on the bottom few inches and wood and flame higher up. Having over 80 pounds of metal in your fireplace does make it more efficient in and of itself, but this in no way replaces a stove.If you are going to keep an open fireplace, this is a very good option. Measure the back wall of your fireplace carefully, splurge for the thicker grate, and maybe buy a 1" thick steel plate from a metal shop and check which ones withstand fire better, though stainless steel grades tend to get many people's votes and traditional cast iron always works though it is less reflective (you can buy metal stands for anywhere from 30-80+$).If you are not expecting miracles, you will be pleasantly surprised.
