A vertical guard bar at the front, placed to prevent logs from rolling into the rooms, is often decorated ornately. (Rear guard bars were in use until the 14th century, when the central open hearth as a mode of heating went out of general use.) The grate, a sort of basket of cast-iron grillwork, came into use in the 11th century and was especially useful for holding coal.

Our house, built in 1920, has two (it originally had four) small coal burning fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the dining room. I would like to use them as something more than decorative coal-burning fireplace covers. Can we put wood stoves in them? How do we do this? Where should we look online for small wood stoves or pellet burning stoves?
