Rome Adjustable Cooking Grate

I did use this once to grill steaks in my fireplace. Fitting it inside the fireplace wasn't that difficult, although I did have to remove parts of the andirons to accomodate the cooking grate frame. Two problems I did have, though, were the handles on the cooking grate, and the steel pegs that hdld the grate in place. With the wooden cooking grate handles, they stuck out too far and I couldn't close my fireplace doors (which I wanted to do while the meat was cooking so smoke wasn't going inside my house). So I unbolted them for a quick fix. However, in trying to use the adjustable levels to place the cooking grate, some of the two inch steel pegs fell off, yes, I said fell off! Upon closer inspection it appears to have been very shoddy weld points. I had three of the steel pegs fall off, and this wasn't due to severe stress, just the normal placement of the cooking grate at the different height levels. On a positive note, Amazon had a no questions asked return policy, and I was able to return the item at no cost to me, and received a full refund.

I'm using it for cooking in the fireplace. It is the only one I found that has an adjustable height. The two different positions are perfect for using it in a fireplace, since you have a limiting amount of space and charcoal. Great buy.

Grill works great. Hanger brackets should be revised so that the grate tips inward to keep grease from running out on the fireplace hearth. Base platform is larger than it needs to be and makes it difficult to insert in a fireplace equipped with glass doors.

The product itself is a great design and I was hoping it would be exactly as advertised. However, upon close inspection (after I received the shipment), the quality is poor. One of the handles attached perfect....the other one, not so good. The result was two uneven handles that I'm sure wouldn't have remained intact after a few uses. Also, the "sturdy steel cooking grate" was simply a high gloss paint over the metal surface. In fact, it started to chip off around the area where the handles bolt to the side of the grate and clearly this surface was made for show and not for go.

It's a shame and with a little more focus on quality workmanship, this could be a great product. I am returning it back to Amazon and getting a refund. Don't waste your money here.

Poorly made. The assembly was impossible. The drill holes did not line up so that the screws could be inserted. It could never be assembled so that the grate would be in proper position.. Emailed the company about the problem and never received any response.(It has been over a month).
