Metal arm thing near fireplace and grill

When I moved into my house, I noticed this metal thing near the fireplace. I also saw similar things near outdoor grills. Can anyone explain what it is and what it does?

It’s for roasting groaners.

It is to fix barbecue paraphernalia such as a bbq grate or the spit to roast chickens etc.

The new ones (like ours too) don’t have holes anymore in them,to fix the grate, nowadays the thingies are secured with a butterfly nut
