Fireplaces

Very little of the energy that goes to the electric fireplaces is wasted. However, as a heat source there are better, more efficient sources of heat.

Blue flames in a fireplace typically indicate that the fire is burning efficiently and at a high temperature. This is a sign that the fuel is being completely combusted, resulting in cleaner emissions and less soot or smoke. Blue flames are often associated with natural gas or propane fires.

The duration a fireplace fire burns for can vary based on factors such as the size of the firewood, airflow, and fuel quality. Typically, a well-maintained fire can burn for 3-5 hours before needing to be refueled. It is important to monitor the fire to ensure it is safe and contained.

Anthracite has a higher carbon content and burns cleaner with less smoke and ash compared to lignite. It also produces more heat energy, making it more efficient for heating purposes in a home fireplace. Furthermore, anthracite has a longer burn time and produces less creosote buildup, which can reduce the risk of chimney fires.

The main thing that one should do to make sure that heat is not being lost through the chimney of a fireplace is to always close the damper when the fireplace is not in use. In addition, you can also use a fireplace door or cover to prevent additional heat loss.

The residue left behind in a fireplace is called creosote. It is a dark, oily substance that forms from the incomplete combustion of wood and can build up in the chimney, posing a fire hazard. Regular chimney cleaning can help prevent the buildup of creosote.

Rubberwood is as good a material for making furniture as regular wood. Rubberwood is imported from the Far East, and after it has been kiln dried, it resists absorbing water.

Yes it just does not burn well because its a rubbery plant, the denser the fire wood the better for fires generally

The Pilot or O.D.S. is clog'd

It was important because it kept colonist from freezing and during.

yes it is because they work well with fire and the nutrients of the tulip wood makes it burn quicker

Well- you can't. Ventless is a different design. To try to do this would be extremely dangerous.

And you can its about the perspective of the asking party. Did they mean "can you take a vented log set/ and burner and make it into a vent-less log set/ burner and just close the damper then yes that would be dangerous and cannot be done, however if the asking party just meant can they use the existing fire box, and using a vent-less burner then this would be safe and acceptable

Go on ebay.

Laws vary place to place. In areas such as Colorado that have VERY bad winter air quality, no additional solid fuel burning fireplaces can be built, and days that you are allowed to burn are set by local govt. Check with yours.

Ace hearth and home centers, but barring them, the a local fireplace shop should be able to sell you any replacement materials

Put wood inside instead of coal one day and see what happens. Size does not matter. If it is a large stove use large wood, if it is a small stove then use small wood.

It certainly can if the top of the stove reaches the ignition temp of the wood.

no.

you must have a flue that properly vents to the outside. you will burn your house down if you try to start a wood fire in a vent free fireplace.

The part is a thermocouple. It screws out, look at the part probably a small wrench.

Some people think so but I would recommend that you sell it. Trust me, people like the smell of apple wood better than oak!

Large pieces of apple wood have value as lumber, but smaller pieces that you get from your branches are more practical to just burn. They do burn very well.

layers of sediments and dirt that has a lot of heat and pressure

remove all sooting and debris, repaint with stove bright of fire place paint, wax any glass and enjoy

no no it is wrong answer after you give muffin to lyman the place where the green door is there is the fire place take garfield as much near as possible of the fireplace and you will slip out . then get him more further he wiil fall into a cell and to get out of there click the back side arrow and you will be out of the cell

What is the clearance around a zero clearance fireplace flue pipe inside of the surround that you build assuming it is double wall or type L since there is a gas log in the old surround.

Depends on what the wall is made of. If it is brick, masonry anchots can be placed in the mortar joints between the bricks. You will need to drill the mortar with a masonry drill bit.
