Getting the fire you have always wanted
Real fireplaces are now incredibly popular in the UK. As professional chimney sweeps, we know how many more people are ‘coming home to a real fire’ and enjoying the look and comfort of a woodburning stove or open fire, whilst for many it is still their main source of home heating.
But if you don’t know how to use your fire correctly, you could not only be wasting money, but damaging your appliance, your chimney and polluting the environment.
As professionals, we visit hundreds of houses, bungalows and cottages each year and see first-hand how an incorrectly used fire or stove will result in poor heat output but also serious consequences to their health and property. How many times we are told by someone new to burning wood that ‘a mate told me I can burn anything on a stove’ or ‘there is no need to waste time on seasoned wood’ or ‘all fires will produce creosote’. Of course, all these are inaccurate.
