What is the greatest problem caused by the use of wood-burning stoves?
The greatest problem would be accidental fires. These are caused by improper installation of the stove (having it too close to a combustible surface) and failure to maintain the stove and chimney (cleaning chimney of creosote buildup). You will also need to dispose of ash and coals safely. We have heated with wood for years, and enjoy it, but it does require attention, care, and tending the fire. Some people will not devote the attention and energy that it requires- they just want to push the button on the thermostat.

Using A Chimney Starter With A Charcoal BBQ Grill?
Starting a charcoal BBQ grill is best done with a chimney starter. This is a metal cylinder that can be filled with charcoal and then ignited from the bottom. The heat passes up through the chimney and ignites all of the charcoal evenly. The chimney is then emptied into the BBQ grill when it is hot enough. This prevents hotspots from forming in the grill and gives the person grilling better control when distributing the coals for multi-zone barbecuing.

Why can firewalkers walk barefoot on red-hot wooden coals?
Firewalkers can walk barefoot on red-hot wooden coals because wood is a poor conductor of heat, meaning the heat is not easily transferred to the walker’s feet. Additionally, firewalkers move quickly, minimizing the time their feet are in contact with the hot coals. Finally, the moisture in their feet may create a thin layer of steam between their skin and the coals, providing some insulation from the heat.
