Five Star Reviews: | 66% New replacement Grate works great January 16, 2017 I had to replace my old grate because the middle started to sink down. I liked this model because it has legs in the middle to stop it from sinking. This is a very strong and heavy grate. I expect to get many years out of this. Excellent and heavy duty January 10, 2017 Beefy, heavy well built. You would have to set out to intentionally try and break this thing and it would take hammers and tools. Great value for the money and should last a lifetime or three. 24" wide front feet, 21" wide back feet, ... January 7, 2017 24" wide front feet, 21" wide back feet, front to back tines 15" wide, 5" tall to top of where logs rest. Front and rear legs sit 4.5" in Sturdy, good value and with important center support. May 29, 2016 This is nicer than the one it replaced and that lasted 7 years so I expect this to last as long. I use it in an outdoor fireplace so it is not getting full time use but when I do it's a hot fire. The bars are thick. The important thing with this is that it has support legs in the center. My previous one did not and it sagged before I had support legs welded onto it. I've seen even bigger ones for sale on Amazon with no center support and would not recommend any without it. Outstanding! February 20, 2013 This grate is heavy, heavy duty and has been is use for about 2 months. Even here in Fl. the temps can drop to 15-25 degrees for several days. There is no sagging of the grate or any signs of wear except for some paint peeling off due to high heat. We use this in a "0" clearance insert and it has provided draft assistance that we did not have with the OEM grate. Buy it you will appreciate the quality and durability.In addition, its shape allows for the logs to slide to the bottom center making adding fresh logs a breeze. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 13% Very solid... I only 4 stars only ... August 29, 2016 Very solid... I only 4 stars only because its Aug and have yet to use it in a fire but I have positive expectations. Good heavy duty grate January 21, 2015 Good heavy duty grate, I have burned it almost daily for a month at it shows no signs of wear, a little pricey for what it is. What a difference a grate makes! January 10, 2014 We have a new fireplace with an insert. The grates that come with them are ridiculous. It was so close to the bottom that there was no air movement at all. For what you pay for these things you would think they would put in a decent grate! This grate works very well. For our fireplace it could be about 4" longer but only an inch or so deeper, front to back. I couldn't find one like that. This one has held up to some hot fires with no problems! quality piece, but misrepresented in the picture February 22, 2013 This is a quality grate which I expect to last for years, however I was a little disappointed when it arrived because I had been looking for just the right shape for quite some time and this wasn't it. The picture in the description shows that it is made of square barstock (which I was looking for to match my other fireplace accessories). Infact, it is made of more of a diamond barstock. Most likely, Minuteman changed their supplier and didn't update the picture. Again, it's no deal-breaker, just be warned that it's not exactly as show in the picture. Fireplace Grate March 11, 2011 I ordered this grate for my wood stove. It turns out to be much too large (my fault, I thought the smallest I could find--18" inch--would fit but it doesn't.) However, it is a very sturdy grate and would order again if I had a bigger woood stove. Because it's heavy, the shipping was more that I thought. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 8% Lasted 2 years in my wood stove ... May 28, 2014 ... then it distorted to the point where it was not useful. Will look for a unit with better metal. Grate is fine but not as advertised December 29, 2013 The grate that arrived is very nice but not quite what was advertised. The bars are diamond shaped not square as shown. Aside from that i have been happy with it. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. November 18, 2013 THE GRATE IS NOT AS TALL AS I WANTED. I HAVE A LOG LIGHTER AND THE GRATE ALMOSTSITS ON TOP OF IT. I LIKE THE STRENGTH OF IT AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T BURN INTO ASFAST AS SOME I HAVE OWNED. Fireplace Grate October 2, 2013 It's not quite as big or as curved as I expected but it's quite adequate. It's certainly worth the money Nice Looking January 1, 2013 This is a nice grate, but if you have a lot of fires, this one will not hold up. Mine is already starting to warp and I doubt I will get more than 1 season with it. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 6% can't take the heat November 15, 2014 after 10 fires the grate started sagging from the heat. Very dissapointed Did not receive grate depicted January 17, 2013 What I received was a fairly nice grate, but it was not the grate depicted in the advertisement. The grate in the ad is made of 3/4" by 3/4" square steel bar stock. The grate I received from Unbeatable Sale was made of a diamond shaped stock (end view) about one inch wide but only about 1/2 inch thick, which will fail more quickly than the grate in the picture. Unbeatable sail did offer a 15% rebate. not good for wood stove January 15, 2013 I build a fire in my wood stove every night during winter. I got this grate about 2-3 weeks ago and it's already sagging about an inch and 1/2 on the front cross bar. Normally I can get two years out of a grate. I'm estimating two months for this one.It probably would be fine for a fireplace as they do not burn as hot.UPDATE: My two month guess was correct. My grate looks as if it were made of clay and someone stepped on it. Legs are splayed and tines are resting on bottom of wood stove. I would add a caveat to the description of item, "Keep away from heat. Do not place heavy items, such as firewood, on grate". Minuteman 24 Inch Grate May 18, 2012 This product is very sturdy - weighs over 20 pounds. Thus, I believe it will stand up to the heat of the fire, which was my main criteria. However, the craftmanship of the product was less than expected. The bars are uneven and the distance between the front and back legs is off by inches on the left and right side. I wish it would have better matched the image and the quality would have been more precise, especially for the price I paid. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 7% Good for looks only, not for Function January 2, 2017 Unfprtunately this was not a good grate. The grates need to come up more to properly and most safely hold the wood. If you're going for looks only it would probably work Frustrated!!! December 15, 2016 Very frustrated! Originally ordered the 24-inch model, and it was too deep. Over 15 and a half inches deep. Would not fit in my fireplace. Ordered the 18" model because the description said it was 14 inches deep. Got it today, and the damn thing was over 15 inches deep! Still won't fit it in my fireplace! Ended up having to cut an inch and a half of the back of the bars to make it fit! Update the damn descriptions to the correct dimensions damn it! Mine melted too January 14, 2014 Was quite happy when I first got this product. Six fires later - it melted. Now, the grate is sagging in the middle and must be replaced. Looks good, but a worthless workmanship. It melted January 1, 2014 I bought this expecting that a heavier gage material would last longer than the crap bought at big box place. Even paying triple the price I was happy to get quality. Alas, it sagged and scaled immediately. Literally didn't last as long as the cheap, Menards stuff. nice, sturdy but SMALL December 5, 2013 sturdy and nice looking but wrong size24-inch front width << ACTUALLY 20-inch21-inch back width <<ACTUALLY 16-inch14-inch total depth <<ACTUALLY 15-inchClears 3-inch under crossbar <<ACTUALLY 3.5-inch | 0% There are no reviews yet |
