There are numerous similarities and differences between wrought iron fireplace grates and stainless steel grates. Both materials can withstand high heat and both are heavy enough to hold up large fires and not move when logs and charcoal suddenly shift. However, wrought iron fireplace grates often have narrower spaces between bars. This is better for keeping coal afloat and helps wood fires burn more efficiently and longer. Wrought iron's dark look also hides burn stains better than the light-colored stainless steel.
