Iron Fireplace Tool

FUNDAMENTAL FIREPLACE TOOLS

When having a fire in the home for additional heat or for sheer entertainment, a home owner must have a basic set of fireplace tools.  If for no more than maintaining the fire while its burning.  Fireplace tools sets come with a fundamental working set of tools, usually a poker, shovel, and a log mover.  I suggest while these are great a few more items would be of help. For maximum safety for the home a hearth rug is employed directly in front of the fireplace.   To complement this, a fireplace screen is the first line in fire defense and safety. 

The tools sets themselves can be functional and decorative at the same time.  Tools for fireplace come in variety of finishes.  Black fireplace tool sets are available almost everywhere.    Brass and nickel are also good choices.  These can work well with different interior designs.  Pewter is now even available.  Wrought iron was a standard in the past and still is very popular.  Modern and contemporary sets have a nice touch in the latest room designs. 

Fireplace bellows could be considered a smart item to have in the set of tools.  While most of the time these are added for a decorative touch to the room by the fireplace, a good set of bellows can come in very handy when starting a stubborn fire.  A fireplace bellow is a simple tool to use with fast results.  This device takes in air with the expansion of the handles outward and expels the air in a stream through a nozzle to increase the rate of combustion for the fire.  From a decorative point of view, fireplace bellows come in a vast amount of choices to complement a room.  Normally made of wood this opens up an unending number of woods available for different finishes.  Oak, Maple, Ash and Beech are a few of the woods to choose from.  The bellows also come in different sizes, if for decorative purposes only with a gas log fireplace a smaller set will do, however, if using for starting a real fire in a hearth the larger would be advised. 

A tool set and a bellows can be more than just decorative but very useful.  Have a happy warn home!
