  Woodburning Stoves

Wow, what a lot of good information on this topic. I have heated with wood stoves for a long time and when I got my tractor, wanted a firewood splitter to make the work easier. My best general advice is: 1- get a newer stove as they are more efficient ( more heat out of less fuel); 2- make sure you are burning dry wood. I have 3-5 years of wood drying under cover and won't burn wood that isn't at least 18 months drying; 3- get a hot fire. Usually this means burning a smaller fire. You get your creosote buildup from cooler, smouldering fires such as when you damper it down at night. This is dangerous! I don't see anybody talking about keeping the chimney clean!!!! You absolutely MUST CLEAN your chimney at least once a year. This means getting the proper brush and rods and cleaning the whole thing. Its not convenient but it is healthy work and nothing beats a blazing wood fire.

  Woodburning Stoves

Trust me to forget another critical thing! ALWAYS have an opening to the outside when burning ( we have a cat door) and a carbon monoxide alarm (along with your already installed smoke alarm) if you are sleeping in the building. Also have 2 or 3 fire extinguishers spread around the building. This is plain, simple, common-sense advice to prevent family tragedy. Have very strict rules about the handling of the stove, such as loading etc, with children etc. It is better to be safe than very, very sorry. AND another thing, make sure your stove and chimney are shielded and that nothing combustible is within 3 feet.
