has gloss | ita: L'alare è uno strumento di ferro o altro materiale metallico usato nei caminetti per il fuoco. Ce ne sono diversi tipi, semplici staffe usate in coppia, o strutture più complesse, hanno due scopi: tenere sollevati dal fondo i ceppi per permettere una migliore ossigenazione e mantenere in posizione la struttura data ai pezzi di legno impedendo che durante la combustione si muovano e cadano al di fuori del focolare. |
