enticing but before using your fireplace or wood burning stove you need to ensure it is operating properly in order to maintain the safety of family members and even if youve been enjoying a crackling fire already its never too late to do a safety check any woodburning device should be checked periodically and cleaned according to usage said thomas e finney vice president of technical ser vices for housemaster a home inspection company proper annual mainte nance will allow for years of enjoyable yet safe usage of fire- places and wood burn ing stoves safety first its important that home owners conduct their own yearly inspection to ensure that their units perform properly before using the fire place for the first time finney suggested checking the visible areas of the chimney for any blockages or creosote a highly flam mable gummy deposit buildup on the interior of chimney walls and the sur face of the flue any deposits over a quarter of an inch thick can health special interest

or other signs of inadequate venting could indicate numerous conditions or concerns said finney some of these may include block age of the flue an insufficient smoke shelf or design construction defects if any of these problems occur homeowners are advised to seek pro fessional help the fireplace should not be used again until the problem is alleviated rekindling an old flame rather than using magazines or newspapers to get your fire going kindling is the most efficient firestart ing material some magazines and newspapers give off toxic smoke when burned due to the types of ink used in the printing process newspapers also send burning ashes up your flue that can ignite a dirty chimney or land on your roof while still aglow flammable liquids such as gaso line or lighter fluid should never be used to start or rekindle a fire using these types of materials can cause an explosion wood burning stoves wood burning stoves have become popular in recent years since they can save on heating bills the new models of wood stoves are attractive and also provide an effi cient source of heat for the home in case of a power outage yet wood stoves also require the same amount of preventative safety maintenance as a fireplace all woodburning units should have adequate clearance from com bustible materials and walls in order to prevent a potential fire even if the unit is not close to combustible walls a masonry wall may contain wood beams within it that could ignite at high tempera tures this problem can often be alleviat ed by the use of special heat shields said finney he also warns that stoves should not be set directly on a wooden floor or carpet as this can create another fire hazard fireproof material must always be used on the hearth and under the unit hearth hints avoid smoldering fires confirm that the fire is out never burn trash or higher flamma ble material that will produce a sud den hot fire inspect your chimney monthly even during the season to check for creosote deposits or other problems avoid stove pipe accessories such as heat reclaimers or extractors they reduce pipe temperatures adding to creosote buildup place a spark arrester at the top of the chimney it prevents hot ashes from escaping the chimney while animals birds and rainwater are kept out improve your natural vision isroisisurcically in days m weeks i discover orthok dr h h
