FALL AND WINTER SAFTEY TIPS

Wood Burning Stove

  • Has the flue pipe been cleaned recently? If 1/8 “to ¼” of creosote has built up anywhere in the total chimney system, the chimney should be cleaned.
  • Is the wood being used DRY- wood that is not completely dried will cause more creosote to build up in your flue pipes causing more fires?
  • Burn short hot fires rather than long smoldering ones.
  • Don’t leave stove burning unattended when children are present.
  • Do not store dry wood near or under stove and be careful of burning embers when tending fires.
  • Never use gasoline or flammable liquids to start a fire.
  • Don’t burn trash in the stove/fire place; this includes wrapping paper, Christmas trees.
  • Empty ashes into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep container off combustible floors. DO NOT EMPTY INTO GARBAGE CAN UNTIL COMPLETELY COOLED.
