You need a lareira. They are fireplace inserts, they will fit it into your existing fireplace. If you have a large room, you may need one with an inbuilt fan, they cost about 1,000 euros, if you have a small room, you can get one for 500 euros.
Open Fires.
A slightly odd request which someone may be able to help me with.....
We have in our apartment a very agreeable open fireplace with dual colour
marble surround of which we are very fond,until that is we light the darn
thing,at which time it consumes rather expensive logs at an alarming rate!
The problem is caused by the fire not having any form of damping control
which means the fire roars away like crazy, heating the chimney more than the lounge!
I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible to obtain/have installed such a device
in order that we might use our fire without being responsible for destroying a
large section of local forestation every time we light the thing
Would appreciate any assistance with this matter.

I have a contact local to Caldas that I trust. He speaks excellent English which is a bonus
We have used him for the Fogo Montanha, central vaccum and solar panels.
PM me if you require details

Good afternoon, I know of an excellent contact, my husband. He sells and fits Fogo Montanha inset fires. With or without fans. Send him the space to be heated, the size of the fire place opening and he will give you his best price. This is nepotism at it's worse!!

Hi Sooty
Perhaps you could change your location from just "Portugal" to your nearest town if you don´t want to be too precise
That would make it easier to know your location.I can give the Fogo Montanha FULL MARKS . We have had ours since we moved here 3 years ago
Where to buy things?
Also does anyone know where we can buy some metal guttering (not plastic stuff), tried the usual diy shops, big and small but they all seem to have plastic but not metal but was given a number from one of the shops to try for a guy who makes them but no reply on his home or mob number despite various attempts! Any suggestions as to where we can buy these?
Also looking for one of those large plastic water butts the massive plastic ones the Portuguese all seem to use to save water...anyone know we can buy one from in Central Portugal Coimbra area?
Ta in advance and thanks again for the very warm welcome. Have a good night everyone
Hi still on the hunt for a lareira in Central Portugal Coimbra area, spent all day yesterday trailing around to the 4 places kindly provided yesterday by Siobhan but none of them had these and sold mainly fireplaces not the actually inserts. Unfortunately Sooty we are too far away from the Algarve to get one from your husband and probably too much hassle to post out to us but thanks for the details.
