Cheminees Philippe Firebox Tips
Gday experts, I have a Cheminees Philippe Radiante 873 in my house. It’s stunning and such a beautiful big fire.
My only concern is that it allows so much air in through gaps since the door isn’t really designed to seal that wood burns SO fast even when baffle closed and air vent shut to its lowest setting. With a few big logs it’ll be burnt out in a few hours which is a pain since id love to have it burn all night.
Has anyone done anything or modified theirs to have it burn longer?
I also find I’m cleaning the glass door every 3-4 weeks in winter due to soot build up. I’m burning dry and good timber so I was just wondering if anyone else had similar?
Such a beautiful fireplace but I’m learning maybe not so practical! Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!
Cheers
