[Stoves] Stove grates

[Lanny Henson]

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

  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.
