Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Steps of how to maintain your hearth
If you have never given a thought to the Hearth maintenance, then this is the right time to do so. It is important to have a well maintained and clean fire place for the safety of your home especially if you like to gather around it during the cold nights of winter. Start by checking the damper: you should use a flashlight and see if there is anything that can be in the chimney. Sometime the animals may live in the chimney because it is warmer during the winter. The leaves also may block the chimney and when you see any blockage, you may have to call for a professional cleaner.

Clean the firebox: the next thing that you need to do is to get rid of the debris, dirt and ashes. Now you are ready to enjoy the light during the cold nights. Keep away the pollutants: when there is a warm fire in the hearth, it creates the carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons with other volatile organic compounds. Such toxic may affect any person especially these who suffer breathing problems or asthma. If it is possible, you can switch away from the wood fireplace to use gas fireplace if you can. Some gas fueled hearths look as if they are burning the real firewood and there are some self contained units that can be kept in the fireplaces. There are also some wood burning inserts that were certified under EPA and which are found in different styles and sizes. If you are not ready to use the gas, then the next thing to do is to use composition logs. They can reduce the pollutants and the smoke up to 50 percent. You should avoid using the resinous wood, evergreen boughs and too much paper.

Make sure that your fire minimizes the smoke for every person. You can try the following: the dry wood cause less smoke and they burn efficiently. If you store the firewood outside, you have to store them at high ground. Look for the wood with cracked and dark colored ends since it shows that the moisture has completely gone out. Check if the wood is completely dry before you burn or buy them.

Always burn clean: make sure that you are using non glossy, manufactured logs or seasoned woods. Burning plywood coal, particles boards, treated wood, painted, rubber, plastics, garbage, charcoal briquettes and papers produce the toxic fumes which may harm the lungs and which may clog the flue.

You should make sure that the damper is opened wide when you are ready to burn the fire. You have to start with small but hot fire and add some softwood to kindle the light. As the fire grows, you should add large pieces of the wood. Add larger logs by making sure that they are kept together and that they are not close enough to let the oxygen pass through. If your fire gives a white and thin wisp white steam, it is a good fire and if it makes smoky variety, it is a bad fire and you should adjust it.
