Hi
We recently bought a 1930's house - the back room had an old 70's brick firesurround and a hole where a gas fire had been taken out. We had a bulder knock it back to original fireplace with plans to get a log burner in but moneys ran out! So thought I'd just use a fire basket for now
I had the chimeny swept, was all fine but he thought I might have problems with a fire basket as he thought the smoke might come back into the room as they are quite low. He suggested a couple of bricks underneath to lift it up a bit (haven't got the fire basket yet)
Do the bricks need to be fire bricks or can I just use any?
Also (this seems like a silly question) but is it fine to just put the fire basket into the opening?
Hope that makes sense - ill upload a picture in a bit x
