   The wife is looking to get a fireplace of some description. Would be very interested to see other peoples to get some inspiration.

   Many thanks in advance.

   we have this but haven't got any pics.

   I can't believe how much it is now , we won it on fleabay when the guy was just starting out(doing fireplaces) for less than half what he's charging for it now

   I hate McMoonteer, his house, his log stores, his woods and his bloody fireplaces.

   I hate McMoonteer, his house, his log stores, his woods and his bloody fireplaces.

   One of these is a long term family home, if that makes me less unlikeable.

    I know McM - I don't hate you really - you are very fortunate as well as very adept with your store building skills.

    MF - fires and stoves have long been a part of my life. Here is a parental bid for heat a month before I was born. Don't attempt to replicate the stove pipe routing at home.

    Will get a picture of the log burner up.

    Is that the type of fire you'd want? They pack way more heat and are easier to control and clean. Our fireplace was open for years...

    You'll have to speak to Dean @ Midland Cookers, tell him Patrick sent you..if you'd like a log burner/aga burner of course.

    I thought they would get hot but they dont. Just about all of the heat is above half way up the burner. I even have a couple of candles either side of the burner without them melting.

    Suppose it depends on the draw and as I lined the chimney the draw is excellent.

    If you need any tips just ask.

    Anyway, carved black marble and cast iron
