Wood Fire Accessories at Mitre 10

Round out your wood fire setup with accessories that make lighting, cleaning and using the fire easier and safer. The range includes fire tool sets (poker, shovel, brush, tongs), log baskets, fire screens, hearth guards, fireside mats and kindling axes. Fire screens protect children, pets and furniture from sparks, while tool sets keep your hands clean and your hearth tidy.

What tools do I need for a wood fire?

A basic set includes a poker for adjusting logs, tongs for repositioning burning wood, a shovel and brush for removing cool ash, and a log basket or carrier. Add a kindling axe or log splitter for preparing smaller pieces. A hearth mat protects the floor from embers, and a fire screen guards against sparks when the door is open.

Are fire screens necessary?

Fire screens are strongly recommended for households with young children or pets, because the glass door of a modern wood fire can reach temperatures well over 200°C. Even closed, the door surface is hot enough to cause serious burns. A full-height mesh screen acts as a physical barrier without blocking the radiant heat from reaching the room.
