The Multi Fuel Fire is in.

The multifuel fire has been in for a week now and has been used every day.

I picked up a copy of the Daily Mail IDEAL HOME BOOK 1953 - 54 the other day and would you believe it it's in there.

My thoughts of it being a late 60s early 70s design have gone out of the window.

It was design for the Commonwealth House, but I've not been able to find any information about that house but will continue to look.

1960's / 70s Space Age Multi Fuel Fire



I found this great original 1960's / 70's multi fuel fire on eBay quite a few months eBay ago and tomorrow they start to fit it.


The installer hasn't ever come across this design but I found found one in the book House & Garden Book of Country Cottages which was published in 1963.



I'll be posting pictures of the installation once it's finished.
