fireplace safety?

Apr 08, 2007 by steveandjenny1
We just bought a home with a fireplace, any tips or ideas for someone who is new at heating with wood?
We have been heating with wood for over 25 years. First of all, as others have mentioned, have chimney inspected and cleaned if it hasn't been cleaned within the last year of use. If it is an older home, you may have an unlined chimney which should be lined. Newer homes have chimneys that are already lined. If you will be heating with wood, a woodstove is more efficient than just a fireplace. Insert woodstoves are attractive, but free standing stoves are generally more efficient. Do NOT burn green (fresh) wood. Aged (preferably at least one year) HARD woods such as oak burn best. Pine and other soft woods will create more creosote in your chimney and do not burn as efficiently. There are several types of woodstoves and a bit of research in that area will pay off. The size of area you are trying to heat will determine the size of woodstove you need.
A thermostat placed on the top of woodstove or the pipe leading to chimney for a freestanding stove will help you burn at the most efficient temperatures. A closed bin to store ashes in is important. Never empty ashes from the bin until they have cooled at least 24 hours. A pot or kettle of water on top of the stove will help keep the air from becoming too dry. There are special "sticks" you can buy and should keep on hand in case of a chimney fire. A free standing stove will need a fireproof base to be set on. If you are using an insert or just a fireplace, a fireproof rug, tile or other type of fireproof surface is important to protect floors from sparks.
Those are the things that come to mind.
