CHIMFEX FIRE SUPPRESSANT


This fire suppressant is indispensable as the first line of defense for controlling fires that occur from creosote build-up in chimneys. Independent test results show it suppresses a chimney fire in an average of 22 seconds!

A homeowner or professional fire fighter can use Chimfex as a safe, fast, and easy-to-use tool to combat a chimney fire with no water damage.

Similar to a flare, you strike the end to light it, toss it in the wood stove or down the chimney and it extinguishes the fire by using up the oxygen. They are only good for one use. It is recommended to keep 2-3 on hand since many times chimney fires can re-ignite. Use in wood stoves, fireplaces, or fireplace inserts.

  • Safe, fast, and easy to use

Fireplace and Wood Stove Child Safety Products

fireplace_wood_stove_safety_gates

Looking to keep children and pets away from fireplaces, wood stoves or pellet stoves? When burning, these hearth appliances can be dangerous to children and pets. With very hot metal surfaces and hard, sometimes sharp edges the best way to protect children and pets is with a safety gate. Fireplace Village sells the HearthGate™ from Kidco, the premier manufacturer of child safety gates.

The HearthGate™ protects children from the dual hazards of heat and fire from wood burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood burning stoves, gas stoves, pellet stoves and barbecues, as well as the dangerous corners and hard, rough surfaces associated with hearthand barbeque products. The HearthGate™ is the child and pet safety solution for layouts that do not have straight mounting points. The standard gate fits hearths 6’ wide by 2’ deep. Additional 24 inch extension panels are available for larger fireplaces, wood burning stoves and gas stoves. Base set fits a 6 foot hearth.

The HearthGate™ consists of five interlocking sections. These sections can be adjusted in 10° increments and can be angled or set in a straight line as needed. Included in the basic gate set is a walk through section that opens in either direction with a one hand adult release.

The HearthGate is 29½” high and constructed of tubular steel with a black, non-toxic, heat resistant finish that is easy to clean. The Kidco Hearth Gate is specifically designed to offer child and pet protection from the heat and fire of fireplaces and wood burning stoves, as well as sharp corners and rough surfaces of hearths.

Use it around your grill during your summer BBQ. Five 24 inch interlocking sections can be angled or set in a straight line as needed, and are wall mounted for safety. This gate is very flexible as it can also be used for protecting large irregular shaped opening up to 24 feet.
