I’m no expert but I was told not to let the ash build up so high in the ash pan that it touches the bars as it’s this that’s possibly warping them. Some good suggestions here, thanks for the help at £57 per grate bar I need it. Going to buy the Mrs a hoodie and try that one first. 😂

Having learned the expensive way about over fireing my Aarrow Stratford SC55 MF burner and warping my grate bars twice while burning logs I need to get a decent thermometer and clear the ash bin more frequently but my problem re the thermometer is that the flue goes out the back of the fire horizontally so I cannot attach a thermometer to it, ( I could but wouldn’t be able to read it easily ). The places that sell these thermometers say that in my case just to put it on the front of the fire but surely they should read the flue temp shouldn’t they or am I over thinking this ?
