Fireplace Accessories

Fireplace accessories come in many designs and styles. Each accessory for the unit has a specific use. Some of the items are absolute necessities while others may leave you scratching your head. There are even some fireplace accessories that are decorative in nature and are not meant for actual use.

Items that look nice but serve no particular function aren’t as odd as you may think. Some fireplace accessories are purely decorative in nature. I discovered this the hard way when staying with my aunt one winter. I figured that I would clean out the fireplace for her and start a nice, new fire in place of the ashes and burnt wood scraps.

While my aunt was pretty happy with my efforts she did mention that the fireplace accessories on the hearth were really designed for show and not for use. This left me scratching my head but I did finally understand why the fireplace accessories were made of shiny brass.

I just thought that she took really good care of the brass fireplace accessories. I really didn’t think much about whether or not they were supposed to be used. Good thing that I only used them once. There was really little sign that the items had been used at all. This did bring up another question about her fireplace accessories.

What did she use to clean the hearth and fireplace if the decorative items were off the list? She showed me a cast iron set of fireplace accessories that she kept in a cupboard right next to the hearth. I had no idea why she kept these beautiful tools hidden. I thought that they looked as great as the brass.

Her only answer was that she liked to hide dirt. I guess that having fireplace accessories designed for show on the hearth and ones for use in a cupboard was a good idea if you want to keep ashes out of sight no matter what.

Now that I have my own fireplace, I decided to forgo buying fireplace accessories for show. I like to put the tools on the hearth to good use. This could be due to simple laziness or it may just be because I am incurably cheap.

No matter what reasons I have I will always think fondly of my aunt’s brass fire tools. I just won’t ever own a set. I really think that the cast iron fireplace accessories are as attractive as the shiny brass, ashes and all.

Corner Gas Fireplace

admin — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 12:08:58 +0000

As you step indoors from the harsh winter climate, all you can think about is getting warm. At least that's how the routine goes in my neck of the woods. When it comes to January and February, the temperatures are often below zero. That kind of frigid, bitter cold will make you year for a nice fireplace. A wood-burning unit or corner gas fireplace that offers nice clean heat, just raring to warm up those frozen extremities. Because let's face it; no one really likes being cold. Sure, they may enjoy the winter months, but that's because they have a nice cozy home to stay warm in. It goes the same for any time of year. We need that place that offers us comfort and a moderate climate to relax in.

For those who do not have a traditional wood-stove or corner gas fireplace of some sort, you're seriously missing out. The ambience alone is well worth it. Nothing adds to your homestead like a gentle crackling flame. Talk about relaxation. Try turning off all the lights and just kicking back in front of a corner gas fireplace with a cup of coffee. Now that's what life is all about. Some folks adore wood-burning, gas, and electric fireplaces for the mere appeal they offer and some prefer the extra heating source as well. I am one that enjoys all aspects of a fireplace. Okay, so maybe I don't love cleaning the ashes out of the darn thing regularly, but if you're interested in a corner gas fireplace, you won't have to worry much about maintenance. The truth is gas fireplaces don't require hardly any attention at all. You keep the pilot light lit and pay the gas bill, and you're set. There is no mess to clean up, there is no fire wood to purchase, chop up or stack. All you need to know is how to flip a switch and relax.

In this day and age, most individuals and families steer toward the corner gas fireplace or electric option. They love the convenience of it all and enjoy the simplicity. Having a fine corner gas fireplace is pretty much like having your cake and eating it too. You get all the benefits of a cozy traditional fireplace, but without all the mess. Welcome to the future.
