Back in the day, fireplaces were an integral part of heating the log cabin home. People relied on the heat which radiated from their hearth as their main heat source. Today’s modern gas and electric heating systems have negated the need of the hearth in the log home, but many people continue to incorporate them into their existing and new log home construction. One of the reasons why this is the case is that the peace and comfort gained from a gently crackling fireplace simply cannot be obtained any other way. Many people like nothing better than a warm, cozy fire on a brisk fall day or cold winter’s night.

Grates are more of a necessity than a stylish addition to your hearth. Available in a wide variety of sizes to suit your individual fireplace, these hearth accessories are generally constructed using durable cast iron.
Some accessories can also be fun. Take for example damper pulls. While these accessories have a very practical use, they are often stored close to the hearth and present a great opportunity to show off your unique style and personality. Constructed mainly of brass, damper pulls can be whimsically fashioned into your favorite designs such as a flying bird, golf club or pineapple. If whimsy is not your style, you can also find brass damper pulls in classic styles.
If you want to take the headache of starting a fire, Firepots and fire starters can be just the thing to make the whole experience quicker and more enjoyable. And they are stylish too. Ranging in materials from cast iron to solid brass, these pots are a great addition to any fireplace no matter whether it graces a Formal log cabin home or a Rustic one.
