Does an insert have to have a grate or do you burn the wood right on the firebrick? Never thought about it til today for some reason. I assumed you would use a grate but the inserts I have looked at never seem to have one. Which is it?
Also, regarding the steel stoves that don't have firebrick linings, do they need a grate?
While I'm asking, I assume the firebrick lined inserts are better than the steel boxes. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Rob
