I am looking for some info on the grates in various boilers. Just interested in non shaker grate types.
What size material is it made of and size of slots / openings. How well it works and if you think it would be better with either wide or narrower openings. Also please mention if there is anything else you don't like or think should be different with the design and how well it is holding up.
Also, if you have ever tried burning coal either by itself or mixed with wood, how well did that work?

Why not just use the shaker grates? The wood don't know what the heck its sitting on ! And if it falls Thur /look at it like 2 fires /heat rises ! I do not split a thing ...nothing.... A icecram pail of coal next to a 3' .…x 16" acroos spruce will go away !

There isn't really a good way to add shaker grates to existing boilers. I have been using a grate with 1/2" slots and was thinking about making one with larger slots but instead of experimenting was hoping to just get some feedback on what works best.
