Hooray at last we are due to have another 12 Firefox 5 Stoves arrive on monday after having 4 delivered on Friday that we were not expecting, this allowed us to deliver two today to customers in London who were very pleased to get the stoves earlier than they and we expected.
Now we do have 12 coming into stock but we only have four left available to purchase as we have been taking pre orders of the Firefox 5 since we knew we would run short and we had presold the 12 we had allocated to us.
So these four are available and they are probably not going to be back in stock again untill early January after these have gone so if you are looking for a new multi fuel stove we do have stocks of all the others and do not expect to run out in the mad rush but you never know.
On another note it is again the last day of the month on ” Cyber Monday” and it again is time to feature some of the other items we sell on on our website that you might not be aware of its called our featured items section.
So keep your eyes out for these new posts and see what we have to offer

Firefox 5 Stoves are due to arrive tomorrow
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Our Fireplace Delivery service is good but even we can't do that
Saturday, November 21st, 2009We have had a call from a customer today asking if there was any chance we could deliver a Tiger Plus Stove to them in Hertfordshire on Sunday this was at around 5.30 pm on Saturday.
Now i know we offer our own great delivery service but both vans are fully laden and all the routes have been planned and i was on my way back from Middlesborough so there was nothing we could do for once.
Rhian who was in the office rang me to see if there was any way it could have gone on and be delivered but im afraid this time we had to say No.
Anyway this was not of huge concern to the customer who is ringing back in the morning to place her order for next Sundays run when we do infact have three vans scheduled to go as at this time of the year we are very busy and have loads of fireplaces and stoves to deliver to our customers all over the London and surrounding Counties in time for them being fitted for Christmas.
So if you are in a rush for a fireplace or Stove just give us a ring if we can get it on for delivery we will do we do not mind last minute rushes and we always say if we can we will.
Firefox 5 Stove taking pre orders for December Delivery
Monday, November 16th, 2009As i told you the other day there is now a problem with the amount of Firefox 5 stoves we have in stock to be truthfull we know have none left we do have some on order with our suppliers and they are due in to stock around the first week in December between the 1st and 4th they are due to arrive.
This happened last year with this stove and we are now taking pre orders for this stove for when it arrives.
We do only have 12 of these coming to us so it really is first come first served, this system worked very well last year and we did manage to delivery over 50 stoves in 7 days all over the uk so you can rest assured as soon as we have the Firefox 5 back in stock it will be sent out straight to you.
I do know they are trying to source extra stocks of these little stoves so hopefully thing should be back to normal asap but as i am writing this we do only have 12 available to sell so please bear this in mind for delivery.
As last year it is pointless thinking im going to wait untill they come into stock as im sure they will all be sold before they arrive so click on the link in this text abd it will take you straight through to the item.
Thanks for bearing with us on this and make that 11 for sale now somebody must have read my mind and ordered one on our website whilst i was loading this blog
How weird must get them to do my lottery numbers on Wednesday
Firefox 12 Multifuel stove with Boiler Option
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009A brand new stove hass been added to the gallery collection of fireplaces it is the Firefox 12B Stove which has an efficient boiler that not only warms your room but will run upto 8 radiators and also heat your household water
The following ratings have been advised on this stove
Wood Burning
Output to Water 7.4 KW – Output to Room 6.2KW
Solid Fuel Burning
Output to Water 8KW – Output to Room 4.8KW
So as you can see this stove offers a great alternative to customers wanting a multifuel stove to do the heating and water too and also it leaves the capacity toheat the room it sits in to an output that is more than enough to heat all except the largest rooms.
In our guides section we do ahve a calculator that you can use to work out how many KW you need to heat a room space.
This stove will be coming into stock to add to the full range we already have on display in our showroom at Langley Mill and with the weather starting to drop very cold im sure you will agree there has never been a better time to invest in a new Multi Fuel Stove to take away the winter chill and to cut your fuel bills.
Do i need a Damper Flap to use with my Fireplace
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009I was asked today about whether a customer needs to use a damper flap to contol the heat output of a solid fuel stove and whether this can be done.
Well i know somewhere online you can buy a damper flap to fit inline with your flue pipe after drilling a few holes but im off the opinion if the stove is correctly installed and is fitted by Hetas registered fitter there is no need for one.
It is not ideal to control a stove by closing off the fumes escaping and i understand some chimney are so big the fire runs like a furnace.
The stoves we supply have an air intake slot at the bottom of them and when fitted correctly this is an ideal way to control the burning tempearature of your stove.
Before fitting if you find chimney does pull to much try a cowling on the chimney pot or even better have chimney lined with a Chimney Lining Kit these are the same dimension as the flue pipe so will stop all excess draw and give you optimum control over your wood burning fireplace.
So really do not butcher your stove pipe get it fitted by Hetas qualified fitter and nothing else needs to be done you can simply contol it by the air intake like it was designed to be used
Simple as that.
Customer Buys Fireplace Suite and Collects for Fitting Tomorrow
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009I feel like i have done someone a good deed today my first phonecall of the day was from a customer in Beverley near Hull who enquired as to whether they could come and collect a Firefox 5 Multi Fuel Chamber Suite as they had ordered one from there local fireplace shop and had arranged a fitter who was coming tomorrow to fit.
After calling the shop to find out what time it was being delivered today they were told it would not be there for another two weeks so they were very unhappy. They came across us via google and rang as soon as we opened.
Luckily for them we do keep this suite in stock and had 1 left available so they were here just before lunchtime and we loaded the suite into their van and off they went saying how pleased they were to able to finish decorating after fireplace had been fitted.
Now im not here to offer wisdom but it seems normal to me to have Fireplace or Stove delivered well before fitter is due so it can be checked it is all present and correct and is what you want.
Leaving it till the last minute can create problems so please bear this in mind if you are wanting to order a fireplace or stove.

Late Night viewing and Collection of our Fireplaces and Stoves
Monday, October 26th, 2009As a lot of our website visitors know we do late night viewings at our showroom in Langley Mill and tonight we have had a customer come and view a Firefox 5 Stove and then take this item home with him in his car. Earlier today a customer drove from Northampton to view and went home with a Firefox 8 Stove
I have also done an out of hours delivery in Derby of another Firefox 5 so I am now sat in my office writing this article before I switch pc off.
It has been local delivery day today and I have been to Heanor to drop off Pembroke Full Polish package and then back to the workshop for a building contract company from Slough who came to collect a Coronet and Brompton package so I have had a busy little day running round delivering and arranging collections.
I have done some price alterations later this afternoon on our website update so another few days doing that and it will be ready to go live I could do with starting to work nights too to get it all done.
We normally try and finish for 8 pm but its now 9.30pm and I still have a couple more invoices to do before I switch off and open up a tin of Jupiter beer that Nina brought me when I got to work this morning I had this comment from her
Hi Mark,
We had a great trip to the UK, it was an easy to find meeting point and it was indeed lovely to see you as well.
We arrived late at home (11 pm Belgian time).
Thanks Mark, see you later.
Regards, Nina
I thought I worked late sometimes but it’s all in a days work here at castfireplaces
Right I am off to get a beer now then walk the dog.

Early Morning call to collect Gallery Fireplaces Tiger Stove
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I had a customer awake me at 6.30 this morning to see if he can come and collect a stove from us today at around lunchtime I know we have long opening hours but 6.30 am that’s just not right.
Anyway after my head had come round I rang him back and it turned out he worked nights and had not thought about the time and was keen to get stove fitted today, I said it was no problem and he duly arrived at our factory at 12.30 just after I had finished packing away all this mornings delivery of Fireplaces which we have every Wednesday and as normal for this time of year we had 2 box vans full of goods.
After looking at our stoves in the showroom part of our factory he chose the Tiger Multi Fuel Stove and a 1000mm length of flue pipe.
Now I did try and advise him as I do with all our customers to have the Tiger Plus as it has an improved air wash system and is a better stove but he was happy with the Tiger and away he went a happy man.
Don’t get me wrong the Tiger is a great stove and at £300 a real bargain too but for an extra £25 it makes sense to have an improved model but who I ma to judge some people prefer the Tiger Classic look without the Air wash grill at the top.
So we do answer the phone sometimes out of hours and we always answer emails when we get them but please don’t ring at 6.30 am as I am not always awake or I am out delivering and you do not want to cross Rhian at that time of the morning, we do open at 9am and will answer phone till 8pm to answer all your queries or to arrange collections and viewings just please contact us.
