Chesney’s Tips For A Long Lasting Warming Blaze
Paul Chesney fireplace and wood burning stove expert and Managing Director of Chesney’s Fireplaces has provided a step by step account, of how to build a long lasting log or coal fire. Stage 1 – Place several fire-lighters on the base of the grate. An alternative to the traditional petroleum lighters and much more environmentally friendly, are natural firelighters made from compacted wood shavings dipped in untreated wax. Stage 2 – Twist and tie several separate sheets of newspaper and place these over the lighters. Step 3 – Arrange a layer of small pieces of dry kindling wood over the newspaper. Step 4 – Finish the fire with a layer of coal or several logs on top of the kindling. Step 5 – Light the paper and lighters around the outer edges of the base of the fire.
Depending on how strongly the chimney is drawing, the fire once established will have be stoked with further fuel to maintain a consistent heat.
A coal fire will generally need much less tending than a log fire as the fuel is consumed more slowly.

Classic Fireplaces In Stone From After The Antique
Although a much-abused term, the concept of a ‘classic’ piece of design is entirely valid; true classics can be defined by their ability to sit happily in many different settings – secure in the quality of their own design.
Fireplaces are a great example of the need for classic pieces and After The Antique has an excellent collection of designs, which work just as well in contemporary surroundings as in traditional interiors.Â
The essence of their success is simplicity of line, correct proportions and the quality of both the stone and the stonemasonry.Â
