Wood Stove
Maintenance
Each year more people are
relying on wood burning stoves
to keep their homes warm during
the cold winter months. And
according to the Insurance Fed-
eration of Pennsylvania, each
year an increasing number of
fires have occurred simply be-
cause homeowners have failed to
maintain them. To prevent a
potential tragedy, here are a few
practical tips on proper care of
your wood burning stove.
Make sure that your stove and
stove pipe are cleared of creo-
sote. This oily substance builds
up as a result of incomplete com-
bustion in the stove. Instead of
burning off, creosote passes into
the chimney where a spark can
easily ignite it. During the cool
Spring days, many homeowners
let the fire in their wood burning
stoves smoulder for long periods
of time,. And since smouldering
fires mean incomplete combus-
tion, creosote builds up. The
solution ... try quick, hot fires.
In this way you'll get the heat you
need without creosote. Spring
is also an excellent time to repair
and clean your wood burning
stove. Be certain to check for
cracks in the stove, loose hinges,
broken legs or grates, or worn
out draft louvers. So that your
stove is ready for next winter's
operation, order replacement
parts now. If you wait until next
fall, the cold weather may arrive
before the missing part.
Proper maintenance also re-
quires that you determine wheth-
er or not your stove pipe needs
cleaning. To do this, simply tap
the pipe hard with your finger-
nail. If you hear a thud, soot has
built up in the pipe, and you
should take the time to have it
professionally cleaned. A dirty
chimney is a fire hazard.
And whether your home has a
wood buring stove or not, be sure
to install smoke detectors.
