The traditional styling of the Tortoise Freestanding Firebox, available in the widest selection of sizes and heat outputs, is perfectly suited to inglenooks, larger fireplace recesses or as a standalone feature. There is no doubt that large, existing fire openings are notoriously inefficient and smoky, a Tortoise Freestander will massively improve efficiency, cure smoke-back and be so much easier to fire-up – they’ve been gently house-warming for more than 25 years. Happy to burn the fuel of your choice – wood, coal or gas and straightforward to install, Tortoise Freestanding open convector fires have injected new life into many existing Fireplaces.
