Stove grates are such a hassle, just another part to fail. It would be good if
we could design around them, and eliminate them.

Subject: [Stoves] Stove grates
Dear Stovers
Rebars 12x12x700 mm x15 p. I used 40 years ago .
Later 4mm iron sheet with 5x5 mm holes and 5x5 mm closed spaces ..
Now I prefer stainles steel 6 mm woven round wires with 10x10 mm spaces .
350x700 mm . It supports the load 6-20 Kg wood .
It last for ever if covered with stainless seeve made of 1 mm thick stainless
cut in windows 3x6 mm quenced .The later , It last 1 year and gives white ash
protecting partly the grates due it smal size and its isolation !!
The smal mass dont rob heat as rebars do .
Rebars have no protection by ash isolation .
Rebars gives carbon loss, no white ash .
Alumine ceramic plate Al2O3 must be the ideal grate if 10 mm thick and
conical holes and 3X6 mm .open on the top . 4x8 mm under . Spaces 4 mm .
It can be mouldes as perles for electric heaters have .
Regards
Frans.
