Fire Baskets
We offer a superb range of fire baskets, each one handcrafted using traditional materials such as brass, steel, chrome and cast iron. Many are also offered in a choice of sizes and in a variety of casting shapes or finishes. In fact, there are almost 100 combinations from which to select the perfect fire basket for your fireplace.
According to model, there is a choice of solid fuel, gas and electric fire baskets so before you make your selection, speak to your local Gazco retailer about which option is right for you and your chimney.

Fuels
Wood, coal and smokeless fuels
Most Gazco traditional fire baskets in this brochure are suitable for burning solid fuels such as logs and coal as well as approved smokeless fuels.
Gas
All Gazco fire baskets can be specified for use with either Natural Gas or LPG. Natural Gas is provided through mains pipelines, whilst LPG is usually supplied to homes in rural areas from a tank in the garden or from gas bottles.
Electric
Many fire baskets are available with Gazco’s “electric coal effect” fan heater. These will require a 13amp socket located within 1 metre of your fireplace.
Gas & Electric options
Gas fires
Fires with gas logs (1), driftwood (2), coals (3) or glass (4) are available for both natural gas and LPG. The glass effect is only offered as an option with the Aspen, Chamonix and Tahoe models. Please see page 137 for a full list of options.
Operation of your gas fire basket can be upgraded to Gazco’s Standard Command remote control system. Available on all models except the Swan’s Nest, once manually ignited, the handset allows you to alter flame height and heat output all from the comfort of your armchair!
Electric fires
Electric fires (5) provide you with the comforts of a warming, flickering coal effect glow and a thermostatically controlled fan heater. They can be operated in three modes – glow only, glow + 1kW of heat and glow + 2kW of heat – and, in most cases, the fan heater can be discreetly hidden behind an optional ashpan cover when not in use.
