Chimney maintenance is vital to your family’s safety.

• Have your chimney inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. Also clean pellet stoves per manufactures recommendations.
• When possible, burn seasoned woods (dryness of the wood is more important than hard wood versus soft wood).
• Smaller, hotter fires will burn more completely and produce less smoke than larger fires.
• Do not burn cardboard boxes or trash, as they can spark a chimney fire.
• Install stovepipe thermometers, which help monitor flue temperatures where woodstoves are in use, then adjust
burning practices as needed.
