Tiger Plus to be replaced by Tiger Clean Burn Stove

admin — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 07:49:47 +0000

Well what can i say i must admit im very suprised having a look through the pink Gallery brochure that the Tiger Plus stove does not feature in it.
I know we have the new Tiger Clean Burn Stove on our website which hapens to be DEFRA approved for burning wood in smokeless zones but it still comes as a suprise the Tiger Plus is not in there.
Gallery have decided to withdraw the Tiger plus and replace it with the Clean Burn Version as there is no need for two versions of the premium tiger.
I must say i will be sad to see it go i really like the Tiger Plus and it has become the second best selling stove behind the Firefox 5.
The Firefox 5 also has a DEFRA approved model in the firefox 5 Cleanburn so im not sure if the long term plan is to get rid of that too we will just have to wait and see.
Anyway our suppliers do have 100s of the Tiger Plus stoves coming in so im not sure when they will be discontinued but im sure as with other items we will still be able to order them directly and keep them in stock.
Time will tell whether the Clean burn Tiger sells as well as the Tiger Plus it should do as it opens up a larger market due to it being able to burn wood in smokeless zones.
So if you wish to buy a tiger Plus before all the stocks run dry just order it through our website

Defra Approved Stove Section added to our Website

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:36:52 +0000

As with all things slight alterations are made to our website to make it easier for our customers to use and we have therefore decided to have a new section on our website for the range of stoves that have been approved by DEFRA for burning wood in smokless free zones.
This section is entitled Defra Approved and is where the Large Carron stove has now been moved too.
This section will be growing shortly to add the stoves which we are taking into stock mainly the Firefox 5 Cleanburn Stove, Tiger Cleanburn Stove and the Kooga Cleanburn Stove.
Also from the Carron range is a smaller Carron stove this will be added shortly too.
The advantages of a DEFRA approved stove are the fact that customers who live in smokless zones can now buy Stoves from us at fantastic prices that can used legally burning wood in there homes.
This has been quite restrictive prior to these new stoves arriving and have previously been very expensive, so keep an eye out on this soon to be growing section as we will be adding them as soon as we take them into stock which im told is not too long.
Most stoves will be added tomorrow so customers can preview them prior to them arriving and get a first glimpse at the photos and features of what we expect to become very popular items.
I have seen a preview of the new Pnik Gallery Brochure and they are featured in there so gallery themselves seem intent on pushing them too.

Gallery Gas Fires do they give off much heat

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:26:00 +0000

The gas fires we supply for our gallery cast iron fireplaces are split into two main types decorative fuel effect and Convector fires.
Basically you can not use a convector fire in a traditional arched or tiled fireplace they are for use in modern suites and fascia panels.
So it now comes tto the question as to whether they give off a lot of heat.
All these fires are tested and do have output and input figures so we can honestly tell you what the outputs are, i have heard shops tell people they give off around 3.5 kw of heat but im afraid this is not true and is very misleading.
The standard gas fire we supply has a input of 6.5KW (so no room vent required) and has a heat ouput of around 2-2.2KW Maximum this depends on the draw of your chimney but we always state this.
2KW is like having a 2 bar electric fire on it will NOT heat the room of its own account (it will take the chill off) and should only be used for secondary heating or for effect only.
Whilst not being very effiecient it really looks nice when running and is very effective and we do sell 100s of them every year and no one has ever complained about the heat output.
If you are looking at a gas device to heat your room take a look at our convector fires you will have to compromise a little on victorian design and looks but with heat ouputs of over 4KW on the High Effiecency fires im sure you will be impressed with the heat they give off.

Derby Fireplace to be retired from our range

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 17:43:37 +0000

A little bit of sad news as one of our old time favorite fireplaces is to be retired from the gallery range of fireplaces and stoves we offer.
We have sold the Derby Fireplace since its introduction into the Gallery range and the first year it was launched it won the Best Fireplace award at the Harrogate show.
It was originally sold in Both a Full Polished and Matt Black finish which was later changed to Black Leaded and the Full polished version dropped.
It has been a steady seller over the years in Black Lead since it was discontinued by gallery from the purple brochure and now it has come to the end.
We do have one left in stock at the price of £350 which is a real bargain as the price has shot up so much recently they would have needed to be sold at around £450 which is expensive when compared to our Pembroke Fireplace.
So Mr Derby Fireplace (or dirty derby as we know it being Forest fans) the time has come to bid you farewell it must be over 10 years this fireplace has been sold by me even when i was at Derwentside, funnily enough i enquired whether another one of my old favorites the Primrose was still available and as to how much they would be as i think we need to replace a cast of this size but retailing it at over £450 is just to much.
So anybody requiring the last Derby Fireplace available its here waiting in our showroom to find a new home and if your reading this article just click Derby Fireplace to view it.

Do you sell Genuine Gallery Fireplace Products

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:26:45 +0000

A strange question i know but today we were asked whether the fireplaces we supply were genuine Gallery Fireplaces products, after confirming to the person on the phone that we are Gallery Stockists and that all the fireplaces we supply are the genuine article they explained a little further.
They were enquiring as to whether a Tiger Multi Fuel Stove they had seen on our website was infact the correct article.
It turns our they had visited a fireplace shop in London and they had told them they had read an article in the Fireplace trade magazine that internet companies have been selling the Tiger stove copy which is not approved for solid fuel use and thats why they are so cheap.
The actual article was about another brand of stoves not Gallery Stoves and basically they had only copied the design of the door and never made any suggestion internet firms were to blame.
It is all still wrong as huge amounts of money are spent on development and for some dodgy company just to copy an item is wrong, anyway there was a huge pile of these doors and stoves that had been broken up for scrap and the problem had been solved.
According to Mr London Fireplace salesman this is why internet based companies are selling Tiger stoves so cheap.
Well let me tell you he is wrong we only ever sell 1st grade genuine products and the reason we are cheaper than the rest is because we buy in larger quantities and do not work on huge margins thats the only reason why our prices are cheaper.
So infact the same Tiger Stove you see sat in their or even our showroom is the same tiger stove that will arrive delivered to your home no ifs no buts just genuine items at the best prices simple.

Same Customers come two weeks on the trot to buy Stoves

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:17:51 +0000

Today we have had the same four customers come to our Factory and Showroom in Langley mill to collect some of our fireplace products.
Last week they arrived at 12.30 to collect a Tiger Plus stove and flue pipe and today it was like deja vu exactly the same time and exactly the same products,they had only come from Sheffield and this wekk they had come in another 4×4 where the door opened wider than the one last week.
We had a quick laugh about making it a regular trip and after finding out they were Sheff Utd fans had a smile about them scoring late against Derby and Forest beating Sheff Wednesday.
They said they had researched many companies on the internet and found ours to be the cheapest and also one of the closest for them and as they could collect saving them £40 it was fantastic value for them to come and collect.
As they came with friends last week they too have decided to have the same stove and colected it today so thanks again to Mr Adams (no relation) and also to Mrs Taylor thanks again for your business we do appreciate it

How can i control my Gallery Fireplaces Tiger Stove

castpine — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:41:09 +0000

How do you control the Stove It just seems to be roaring away and even when i reduce air into the stove it still roars is there anything you can suggest.
This is an unusual question as based on our experaince Tiger Stoves can be controlled very well.
I made enquires as to who had fitted his stove how old it was and did he have an invoice number from us.
It turned out he had bought it from a shop near Buxton who now do not want to know or help him with a solution to this problem and he fitted it himself.
Well its not really our problem but after finding out chimney had not been lined as he didnt want the extra expense it sounds to me like his fireplace chimney breast has one hell of a drawer on it as the stove is nearly new and the seals around the door are fine.
The only solution we can offer is a damper pipe which is a small pipe 250mm in length which has an adjustable damper inline which can be altered to reduce the draw from the chimney.
The original stove pipe does have to be removed and then this item placed inline but it is a solution to his problem and he has gone away to think about ordering one.
So the moral of the story is when ordering a stove or Fireplace from someone please make sure they have the background knowledge or experiance to sort out any small problems you may have as our friend found out some companies do not want to know after you have bought items from them.
