Hello. We can't decide, so thought we'd toss this out to you fun folks.

We have new home construction with new woodburning FP. We have gas in another location, and infrastructure for a stove in the basement (future stuff).

Regarding the Woodburning FP, please see picture & advise - what size grate would you use?

We are considering just normal grate like this one:

Three legs, self-feeding kinda thing, tapered shape to work with the corner FP.

Our FP size:

Front width is 43 inches,

Back width is 33 inches,

Depth is 22 inches.

We can't decide between the 10 bar, and the 8 bar.

The 10 bar measures:

- foot placement is 33.5 in the front, 28.5 in the back;

- bar basket / cradle is 25 inches front, 22 in back.

The 8 bar measures:

- foot placement is 28.5 in the front, 24.5 in the back;

- bar basket / cradle is 22&1/4 inches front, 17.5 in back.

Any suggestions let us know please, thanks! My tendency is to have a large back-log, and build a nice fire in front of it. TIA !
