As important as it is to take care of your fireplace, giving your chimney a little TLC is also widely encouraged in order to reduce the risks of chimney fires or any long-term damage to your flue.

Adding accessories to your beloved chimney can have a massive and advantageous impact to how well it operates and how clean it’s kept.

Brewer U.F.O MKII Gas Cowl

The Brewer U.F.O. MKII Gas Cowl has proven to be one of the most beneficial pieces of hardware when attached to the chimney, in defending from any unwanted debris and its antidowndraught qualities trump the vast majority of other cowl models.

The antidowndraught feature eradicates that wintery chill that can sweep through some chimneys throughout your home so that you are free to enjoy your fire without feeling the cold.

It incorporates four adjustable upstands that address the demand for a greater exhaust area when solid fuels are used and due to its being so compact, it can be used on several pots without any need for modification. If the Brewer U.F.O is being used on a solid fuel system, be cautious – the birdguard must be removed in this instance.

The gas cowl is easily installed and very secure.

Brewer Solid Fuel Birdguard

Your roof is completely exposed; therefore it’s only natural that it will be open to the forces of nature. The Brewer Solid Fuel Birdguard is ideal for warding off any pesky vermin such as birds and squirrels and can also prevent a build-up of leaves and residue to remove the possibility of blockages.

Brewer Birdguard models with the attached rain cap also reduces the quantity of rain entering the chimney and forestall any thaw damage.

Like its U.F.O cousin, the Brewer Solid Fuel Birdguard is known for its reliable and secure installation.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm C0-9X

The ability to detect the odourless carbon monoxide is imperative to any home that contains a fireplace or woodburner. The sleek and compactly designed Carbon Monoxide Alarm C0-9X from FireAngel is the integral accessory for your home. It can be wall mounted or free standing, depending on your preference, though we do advise that it is located close to the ceiling when installed.

The C0-9X is portable and is therefore great to take away to holiday homes that contain any fuel-based heating appliances. Another great feature of the alarm is that not only does the battery have enough power in its pack to last 7 years, but it can’t be tampered with. This makes it an ideal match for tenanted properties, and for any household looking for that extra peace of mind.
