If the latter I could make you some but it's gonna be the wrong side of new year before I can get them to you so probably no use.

What do you mean by fire irons? .

Tongs, poker, brush etc, shortish ones, not cheesy brass!

I can't imagine any sort of cheese would be any good for fire tending anyway.
