Gas fire and wood burning
I have bought a house as well. It has got a small gas pipe terminating
under the the firegrate. Do you think this is for lighting the wood until it catches fire? Do I have to shut the gas off? Are there any safety rgulations? Thanks . Stefan |

Gas fire and wood burning
If you plan on using a wood fire, you MUST disconnect any gas from the
fireplace. You should remove the whole line. If the piping is already there, buy a gas appliance to heat with. wrote in message oups.com... I have bought a house as well.

Gas fire and wood burning
yea...its most likely a log lighter...it will be an iron pipe with a
series of holes in it....there should be a valve mounted around the hearth somewhere...not in the actual firebox. I would get the gas company or a reliable heating service out there to look it over and make sure its safe. |
