I am a chimney sweep and I have been selling Grate Wall of Fire Grates since last fall. So far I have sold seven of these grates and I have heard nothing but excellent feedback.
A fireplace grate isn't necessary but they are beneficial. They help keep the wood together and aim the heat out of the fireplace instead of up. They also allow your fire to breathe.
The advantages of having a cast iron fireplace is that you can make a fire, without having to worry about starting a fire. Another advantage of having a cast iron fireplace grate is that they are much saver than normal fireplace grates.
Cleaning a fireplace grate can be a massive chore however with the use of a wire brush and a wet rag the ash with come right off without any problems.
They provide a raised spot for the fire, letting ashes drop below, and providing air circulation for the wood to burn.
A grate holds fire.

If you have a charcoal grill, leave the rack on while the grill is heating. When the fire dies down, thoroughly clean the grate with a wire grill brush, and lightly brush the grate with oil. If your grill is gas, leave the rack on while heating. When it's heated, scrub the grate with a wire grill brush to clean it thoroughly and brush a light coating of oil on the grate before grilling your food.
You can have an open wood fire pit as long as you have a grate that will cover the pit and ready to cook food near the pit. The pit becomes a grill once you have both the grate and food near the pit. Remember to burn wood, no yard waste as you can get a fine for that. Wood, Grate, and Food = no fine
