Why does gas fireplace give off fumy smell?
It may be a good Idea to have your fireplace serviced by a qualified professional to insure you have no harmful emissions from it. A few things that can cause a fireplace to emit odors are: New fireplaces have what is referred to as a burn in period, normally 8 to 12 hours, during which it may emit some rather strong odors. This is a result of oils and paints used in production baking off or curring and should subside after the recommended burn in period has been met. It is not necessary to run it continuously to reach the recommended period. It is normal for a fireplace that has not been used for some time ( summer ) to emit a musty odor when it is first put in service. this is caused by dust in the venting and on the appliance burning off. Contributing factors like pet dander and cleaning products can add to the odor and make it quite strong. Normally these type of odors will subside after a couple hours of operation. Vent free fireplaces ( no matter what the manufacture says ) always have an odor. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home and follow local building codes or manufacturer's specifications for installing it.

Can you use baking soda to raise pH levels in hot tub?
You can use baking soda to raise the pH level in a hot tub, however soda ash will work better. Borax even better than that. The issue with baking soda is that it more readily raises Total Alkalinity so will have a larger effect on TA rather than pH.
Can lighting a fire in the fireplace with a chimney make the rest of the house colder?
It can, though this may be counter-intuitive. The heated air rising out of the chimney must be replaced by air from outside. Usually this air enters the house through open or leaky windows and doors, through openings in the walls, or through under-eave vents into the attic. Depending upon the placement of the air sources and the temperature of the outside air, this may have significant cooling effect on the living space of the house. To counteract this effect, most well designed residential furnace systems are provided with a "makeup air" duct from outside directly into the furnace room. This way, the cold air from outside needed to replace the air leaving through the chimney can enter directly into the furnace burner or draft diverter. Some modern fireplace designs take a similar approach with a small makeup air duct or vent located near the fireplace.

Reasons to Buy a Fireplace Screen?
When people purchase a new home, the last thing they usually think about purchasing for the home is a fireplace screen. A fireplace screen is one of those things that people rarely think to purchase for a home, because it seems so unnecessary. Some people even think a fireplace looks more stylish without a fireplace screen. However, the truth is that every home absolutely needs a fireplace screen for a fireplace. It is a huge fire hazard to live in a home that has a fireplace with no fireplace screen. This article will discuss all of the reasons a person should consider investing in a fireplace screen for a fireplace in a home. First off, as mentioned, a home is a fire hazard without a fireplace that has a screen. Without a screen, it is quite easy for a fire to spread from a fireplace within a home. One of the top causes of fires in the United States is started when homes lack the necessary fire preventative measures. One great fire preventative measure for any home is a screen which is placed in front of a fireplace. When a fireplace lacks a screen, then it is very easy for a fire to spread throughout a home. There are many places to buy a fireplace screen for affordable prices. A great idea is to look at a garage sale for a fireplace screen. A person can likely pay only a few dollars for a fireplace screen at a garage sale, rather than purchasing a brand new one at a retail store. Another idea is to purchase a fireplace screen online, rather than at a retail store. Purchasing a fireplace screen online means that a person will only have to also pay tens of dollars, rather than pay a hundred dollars or so. Overall, it is a great idea to consider one's alternatives when buying a fireplace screen. There are plenty of places to look when buying such a screen. In addition, it is something that will keep a house safe for years to come. One will never have to worry about fires spreading with a fireplace screen in the home.

The Importance of a Fireplace Flue Damper?
It's important that an indoor fireplace flue damper be opened before igniting anything in a fireplace. The damper looks similar to a trap door and is located at the bottom of the chimney. When it's open, it provides an opening for smoke from the fireplace to escape. If it is closed while a fire is lit, smoke will enter the room rather than leave via the chimney with possible deadly consequences. If nothing is burning in the fireplace, keep the flue damper closed. This saves money on energy by preventing heat or air conditioning loss up through the chimney.

Is it possible to do a DIY installation of a fireplace?
When you use DIY in the sentence it is always possible to do something yourself. With a fireplace it is going to be hard work and you'll want to make sure you have the right tools to do the job. I would say that installation of a wood stove rather than a fireplace may be easier to do yourself since the whole in the wall is a lot smaller. If you do it yourself, you will need to make sure it passes the right inspections so plan carefully.
