Small gear & consumables
The consumables a winter goes through
34 categories of things that wear out, get burned and are bought again, judged the same way as the appliances: by what they change, and whether the cheaper option already does the job. A part only helps if it matches what you own exactly — a flue pipe is 130 mm (5.12 in) or 150 mm (5.91 in) and never both, a door cord is 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm (0.47 in), and a pane of stove glass is cut to one outline rather than ordered from a photograph.
