The Fireplace

We have always said that any new home would have to have a wood burning open fire. The though of opening a good bottle of red wine, and settling down to watch the flames and hear the crackle of the logs is something that we are really looking forward to. In fact I have a special bottle set aside for the first occasion.

I like the idea of installing a firebox as it works far more efficiently than a standard brick fireplace. Cool air is drawn into the heating chamber and as it rises, it's forced out into the room through a jet at the top. This and the heat produce directly from the logs produces up to 5 times more heat than an average brick fireplace. Not that we will be using the fireplace to heat the whole house but it will save us time and money buying the logs.

An optional hook-on safety screen secures the fire. It is child proof and spark proof so can be left unattended for burning overnight.
