Just curious, as of now I do not have much in the way of fireplace tools. Just a cheap set that has done the job for the handfull of fires we have. So, what is absolutely needed, what are "nice to have" items, etc.? Not going to be using full time for heat this year but hoping for a fire most every night if possible.
First insert coming, must have gear?
