Keep your family safe and enjoy your time around your hearth using some of our fireplace tools and accessories. Using the proper tools for your fire helps it burn evenly, for a clean and fun fireplace. Placing your logs on a log rack outdoors keeps them from resting on the ground, so they stay dry and burn well. Further protect the firewood from rain using a log rack cover, and use a tote or bin to bring some logs indoors when needed. A bin placed next to the hearth easily holds extra logs and kindling, and a grate placed inside the fireplace creates a place to nicely stack the wood. This allows ash to drop to the ground and air to circulate around the logs, offering an even burn. Keep sparks from reaching your carpet by placing a fireplace screen in front of the hearth. These metal mesh screens have a variety of shapes and patterns, for one that matches your home. Always be sure to use the proper tools when tending to your fire. Long handled tongs and pokers help reach the logs when needed, and brooms and dust pans help clean the area when the fire is out. Tools and tool sets can match the screen for a cohesive look, or may offer a different style for contrast in the area. Keep your hearth safe using some of our Fireplaces and Accessories.
