A stove should be at least 18 inches off the floor, or else have tile, brick, or asbestos under it. This pad should extend 18 inches forward of the ash door. Insulating pads are most effective when they are hung a small distance off the wall, letting air carry heat from the back of the pad. Flue fires are the second big hazard. A chimney that is unlined with flue tiles, not high enough, overbur- dened with too many stoves or other heat sources, or dirty, can cause serious problems. Burning green wood in your stove can lead to a vv. bw ne buildup of creosote in the flue. The creosote can catch fire and burn your house down. To help prevent creosote deposits, burn dry hardwoods. If your stove backs smoke into the room when you open the stove door, your chimney may need cleaning. Metal flue pipes that don’t ring when you tap them with your finger- nail may be dirty, too. If you ever have a chimney fire, call the fire department at once. While you're waiting for them to get there, throw lots of coarse salt on the fire (if you have some handy) and then close all the doors and draft holes and the flue draft to smother the fire. EO One pbs SS ] You run a much slimmer chance of having a chimney fire if you burn well seasoned dry wood. If you buy or cut green wood (you can tell it’s green because there are no radial cracks in the log ends), store it in a dry place for 6 months to a year and a half. To help your nice new stove survive the high temperatures it is subjected to, spread an inch or two of sand all over the bottom before you start using it. The bottom plate will get very hot otherwise. Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or any other inflam- able liquid to start your fires.
