A companion set is a useful set of tools, usually mounted on a compact stand or holder, to keep close to the fireplace in a tidy manner. Usually either three tool (Poker/Shovel/Tongs) or four tool including a brush. They come in a wide variety of sizes, finishes and styles.
J DAY STONEWORKS EXPERTS RATING – 3/5 In some cases, a poker and shovel are useful, tongs and brush are probably not going to be used much by many stove owners.
If you do have a set remember that a poker can be a lethal weapon, especially if it’s straight from the fire. If you have small children around, or inquisitive pets, make sure your companion set is well within your fire guard.
If you haven’t got a fireguard but do have very small children, please consider getting one. You can always move it out of the way for Santa.

West fire manufactures a range of highly functional wood burning stoves that meet the most stringent requirements for environmentally friendly combustion. Convection stoves heat the air and spread it evenly throughout the room.
Danish Design
The Danes have always had a love for fireplaces and stoves.
Danish-made fireplaces and wood burning stoves build on age-old traditions and excel in terms of both design and functionality.
Since the first energy crises of the 1970s, a number of key manufacturers have developed a reputable line of solid, attractive wood burning stoves, convection stoves and fireplaces. Focus has been on design solutions, environmental considerations and fuel economy.
Most wood burning stoves and fireplaces are easy to use. They are usually simple to light using a few firelighters, and the heat is often as easily regulated as on a radiator. We recommend using only clean, dry wood in your fireplace or stove, and making sure there is a good supply of oxygen when lit. Burn only small amounts of wood at a time as too much wood can lower the combustion temperature too far.

Modern design with ease of use
Wiking wood-burning stoves are designed using state-of-the-art techniques. This ensures uniform quality and user-friendliness that are second to none.
Wiking Automatic
In a Wiking log burner, the regulation of air during lighting and re-stocking is managed automatically through the Wiking Automatic device. This consists of a heat-sensitive bimetallic coil, which expands or contracts depending on the temperature in the wood-burning stove.
Unique closing system
Just pull the handle lightly to open the door, when the door is pushed shut, the locking hooks engage and pull the door shut. When the door is closed the handle fits flush with the solid cast iron door and maintains the stove’s clean lines.
Quality and a 5-year extended warranty
WIKING has more than 30 years of experience with the manufacture of stoves. This is your guarantee that all WIKING products meet high demands for quality, design and functionality. The stoves are produced in a high-tech production environment, using modern equipment such as laser cutting and robot welding. The entire process results in a high, uniform quality.
Using materials of the highest quality throughout the entire process Wiking stoves use soapstone from Finland.
The combustion chamber
All WIKING stoves have a highly-insulated combustion chamber of Vermiculite plates. Vermiculite is a natural material originating in Africa, which has superior insulating capacity combined with a low weight when compared to firebricks from other manufacturers. The Vermiculite plates ensure a temperature increase which is fast enough for the combustion to be clean and efficient. Clean combustion means less soot in your stove and chimney, which will safeguard the environment and reduce the risk of a fire in your chimney.
Approvals
All WIKING stoves have been tested and approved by leading European institutes. This means they meet the environmental demands of the future. All WIKING stoves are CE labelled in accordance with the European standard EN13240, the Norwegian standard SINTEF NS3058/3059 and the Austrian standard Art. 15a.
