Poele spares - cast iron grates

[thunderhorse]

We have a three-year-old Godin 1120 poêle à bois (petit ronde), the circular grate (about 20cm diam.) of which has cracked and given up the ghost. Despite extensive searching, I can't find a direct supplier for a replacement.

Weldom's have suggested four weeks at €84! and 3MMM eight weeks at €40 approx. It's a long time to go without heating.

Any help on this appreciated.

Cheers.

Alternatively have you tried whoever installed the stove?

As wood fires dont need a grate as such, could you find someone to cut a steel plate of the right diameter as a temporary measure.

Thanks for that. I've bookmarked the link. It was supplied by Castorama who suggested contacting an outfit called Phillipe Cheminée - very expensive modern kit but with no indication of spares.

Cheers.

I've two massive rectangular cast iron plates from old hearths. If I can't find a proper replacement, out will come the giant angle grinder... [:D]

Godin spare parts are like rocking horse droppings,and getting them is like abseiling up the Khyber.Suggest a local Metal works and have a piece of 6mm plate cut to dimension.Mine for our Godin cost 8 euros 40 x30cms .Maude
