Fire place grate in fire pit

Has anyone used a fireplace grate in a fire pit? Thinking about doing that so the air can better circulate up through the wood providing a better fire.

Good/bad idea?

  • I have heated our house with wood since we had a house the same as my parents and grand parents. The furnice that we have now has no grates nor do most fireplaces. Grates will make the fire hotter and the wood won't last as lone. A fire pit works just fine without grates.

    Agree!

  • I would think this belongs in General, not this forum or the other one.
