Convert your fireplace into a working model of hell.
Here's what you get:
1 One gas powered fire that slots into your existing hearth.
2 One set of ornate iron gates, festooned with obscure
diabolical calligraphy and strange symbols.
3 One set of fireproof utensils, each decorated with
its own
stoking demon.
4 One set of clinker built figurines to place amidst the
flames
and move around using the stoking utensils.
5 One set of downwardly gazing, smug figurines to line up on
the mantelpiece.
6 One Devil's outfit to don on a particularly cold night.

Can we have soul-shaped marshmallows that moan when heated? |
|
| |
A flame retardent snowball of somekind? |
|
| |
We need ritualistic hand bellows..Mwaaaha ha ha... |
|
| |
I'll take a fireplace mantle shaped like that wall in Devil's Advocate |
|
| |
Everyone knows souls are shaped like pickles. Everyone that watches Spongebob Squarepants, that is. |
|
| |
"Ah, the new season's model catalogue is out, from Dante's, darling!" |
|
| |
+ Very good. I'll take a figurine of the composer of "The birdie dance" to go in the toastiest part of the fire. |
|
| |
For warmer nights, a clock that ticks off the hours by the action of a winged monkey transferring charcoal briquettes from one pan to the other of a scale. |
|
| |
+ trident shaped toasting fork. |
|
| |
You could also stencil good intentions on the hearth tiles. |
|
| |
It’s easy enough to make things that scream when you throw them in, by steaming off a small amount of water through a noisemaker, before they perish. |
|
| |
This isn't quite a list yet, but it is one damned thing after another. |
|
| |
Xenzag, I like your number 5 paragraph. |
|
| |
At least the autoboner hasn't found this one yet. Maybe the description makes him/her homesick. |
|
| |
"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate" on the mantel. |
|
| |
A selection box of wax figures would go nicely with this. Each neatly identified on a little tablet at the base. "Lawyer" "Mother-in-Law" "Politician" "Insurance Salesman" "Telesales Operator" the list is endless. You could even have Armaggedon Parties. |
|
| |
I'd think figurines should be pinewood. There'd be that nice satisfying "POP!" noise every so often. |
|
| |
A friend's boyfriend did something like this to his house... + |
|
| |
Burnt it down for the insurance money? |
|
| |
I am trying to find an excellent idea once posted on the HB: artificial "logs" for gas fireplaces, but with themes - volcano shaped logs, hell-shaped logs etc. It seemed to me eminently bakeable. Maybe that is why someone took it down. |
|
| |
Yeah, that one is gone. It’s not in google’s cache either. Hopefully it’s in the oven. |
|

baconbrain - I like your name - so your place is secure on
the mantlepiece. Pa've - I'll be checking your voting
record on my other ideas.... and if I was you I'd invest in
an asbestos suit, just in case. |
|
| |
Red smoke, with a projected light image of a devil's face. |
|
| |
Have canisters of some appropriate compounds of lithium, barium, potassium, rubidium, magnesium, caesium etc. |
|
| |
As you clap your hands, a puff of the compound is squirted in, resulting in a coloured fireball. |
|
| |
As an alternative to [angel] (now isn't that an appropriate name)'s 'Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate', you could have the infamous 'memento mori'. |
|
| |
It should also be able to do the screaming jelly baby experiment with no need for test tube. |
|
| |
Burnt, hell-tormented, soulless, demonic bun. |
|
| |
+ this one's worth churnin'..... |
