The  coals in the basket actually glow as they're warmed by the natural gas or propane burner.

The Coal Baskets  were first imported  but soon the need for CSA certified gas coal grates for the US and Canadian markets made American production for the Vent Free Coal baskets necessary for this Southeastern based family business.

Searching for antique grates and surrounds to be reproduced exclusively  for their Coal Baskets, the company began to put together a product line of decorative, beautiful grates and accessories.
