Rutland Furnace Cement will work. 2000F temp, Metal to Masonary, or metal to metal. I got it from Tractor Supply Company. I believe Homedepot and Lowes have their own brands, as well.

Well.... the second time I read this I thought.... what's he mean cement a grate? Stove cement isn't glue, it won't repair a broken grate. It's more of a filler. So, before you go spending good money, just what is the application?

Correct, it will NOT fix a broken grate.

The application is to cement down the grate and re-cover the combustion holes in the back.
