19. I have quite an old brass fireplace right now, more older looking the better as far as I am concerned and I wish I had a victorian one! Keeping it tip top just requires a polish and a companion set and a clean out whenever needed

30. I chose a modern scandi design, I have a great danish log burner, clean effective. My tip is to use old candle ends to crayon over newspaper as a great fire starter, and use a used cork wine bottle cork to clean the inside of the glass when required, then pop it in the fire ready to start the next burn

50. I love Modern style fire-places, they are so much easier to clean and care for and keep safe. We have a log-burner, we had it installed last year and I absolutely love it, the heat it generates is amazing and it’s so easy to care for and clean out.

51. What a stunning basket – it would go really well with the fireplace set I got my hubby for Christmas. My hubby talked me into getting a log burner and it has been really cosy over the cold winter nights we have had. I’m sure you will enjoy yours!Fingers crossed.

52. Im new to it too! We had our log burner installed in December and are still getting use to things. We live in a Georgian house so its a simple looking burner with an oak mantel and a York stone hearth. Iv been using an old damp tea towel to wipe over the stove after its been cleaned out and so far its working fine. My installer told me that very fine wire wool can be used to clean the glass if it becomes tarnished but iv not needed to try anything else yet. A basket would be a lovey addition to our fireside 🙂

53. Love a traditional fire place but ours are much easier to look after and cleaner since the log burner fitted in comparison with the open fire.
