I’ve got a new batch of cast iron grates coming into stock soon. These will fit all Belle Portable cooking ranges as well as many early Guidwife ranges as well as many others. Dimensions will be posted in the ‘Shop’ section in the coming weeks. These grates are a quaility article cast in the Uk completely unlike the poor quality Chinese cast iron available from many outlets. These grates will offer years of trouble free service.
Fire stones also available for all ranges upon request.

Does your grate look like this?!

We’ve had another busy week with 1 Georgian register grate, 1 Belle Portable, 1 Cottage range and 16 forged shutter closers being completed ready for delivery today.
The grate and range are being supplied with a pair of matching bespoke Bath stone surrounds and they’ll look great in their new home!
The Belle Portable has been fully insulated internally to make it’s installation into a Ploughman’s living wagon that much safer.
The shutter closers work on the principle of snail cam, or more accurately a scroll cam. The scroll catches onto a pintle driven into the window frame and as it is turned draws the shutter tighter in.

Belle Portable Range
I recently aquired this very smart Belle Portable range. It is complete and original and is in the queue for restoration. It’s a very nice example of a 36″ model with sham.

Belle portable range in parts
I just dismantled another Belle portable range ready for restoration and thought some people may be interested to see its various parts. This photo shows everthying minus the oven, trays, oven runners, a couple of hotplates and the hotplate tool. Now to remember how it all goes back together again…
