Burning the correct fuel and properly maintaining your fire/stove are key to ensuring you maximise the efficiency of your fire. As always new installations and maintenance should be carried out by recognised and registered professionals.
Coal bunkers are an excellent way to ensure your fuel isn’t too exposed to the elements.
We have a range of coal bunkers in stock at Bandon Co Op. In particular a popular choice is Carbery Coal Bunkers. These plastic bunkers are designed for the storage of a wide variety of solid fuels, including briquettes, coal, peat, turf, wooden blocks and slack. They will never rust, rot or corrode and do not require painting. Meet with a representative from Carbery in our Bandon store on October 11th to help choose the right coal bunker for you depending on space available, fuel usage etc.
Carbery Coal Bunkers are available in Bandon Co Op
This might seem very obvious but it’s a skill that’s becoming less and less used so here are some tips:
Stoves usually come in either matt or enamel finish.
Enamel - clean when stove is cold, use only recommended products, do not use abrasive pads or oven cleaners. Wipe daily with damp cloth and polish with a clean dry duster.
Matt – use a dry cloth to remove dust or dirt, do not use water as it will cause the stove to rust. Matt stoves can be refreshed with paint – ask in store for details.
Ask in store for more information on cleaning products for your stove
Chimney Damper – prevents up to 70% heat loss from escaping up your chimney – saves energy and easy to install
Chimney Balloons – for chimneys that are not in use, these stop chimney draughts and reduce heat loss and noise in your home
