welsh1 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Expanded metal mesh, a google search should find suppliers, or your local ironmonger/ builders merchant will probably sell a roll of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Stove paint, either a spray can or you can get it in tins at most hardware stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondoggy Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Got the same chimenea. The door is still ok on ours, it’s the split grate inside that went on ours. Got a new one off Amazon. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grate allows air under the fire and provides space as an ash pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonbasher1 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 iv'e also learned today that there should be a lid that goes on the chimney when not in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true. There should also be a little tool to open and close the door when it’s hot. However, you can just use a stick or similar item for that.

moondoggy Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Have a look on here, you should see what it should have come with. They also sell covers if you can’t find a lid. Might be worth contacting them, you never know, they might have a spare lid kicking round. https://www.castironchimineas.co.uk/home.htm# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
