Abstract: A product for use with a fireplace grate comprising a sheet of metal, preferably of mild steel, adapted to fit into a fireplace and cover the upper surface of the grate normally used therein. The sheet is bent upward at its long edges or otherwise formed so that the upper face thereof when laid flat on a grate is concave. The sheet has evenly spaced holes or apertures through its entire area to permit the free and uniform flow of air through it. The sheet is sufficiently strong to hold the fuel to be burned in the fireplace and is of a thickness, or gauge, sufficient to withstand premature destruction in use.
