Morning,
At first, I also thought the spark guard was unnecessary. But without it, we would definitely already have some burn marks on the parquet today. No matter how carefully you add the logs, sooner or later the log slips in a different way, sparks fly, and something falls out. You just can’t completely avoid it.
It really doesn’t work without it!
Best regards,
Andreas
I don’t think it’s unnecessary at all, only ugly.
That a spark guard makes sense is beyond question.
