Fireplaces

Pine burns faster than hard wood, and leaves almost no coals so it's less heat efficient. Pine creates more sparks than hard wood so a good fireplace screen is essential and be aware that more sparks may ignite kreasote build-up in your chimney. On the plus side, cured pine usually has a brighter flame than hard wood and is prettier in your fire. Also pine is more likely to create the crackling fire sound that people enjoy. Probably your best bet is to use two pieces of hard wood and one piece of pine, and be aware that you will probably want to add one or two additional pine pieces before the hard wood burns away.

Yes. Skunks are most commonly found in fireplaces at summer camps.

Crayons are basically wax. When the stove is cold, use a single edge razor blade to shave off as much wax as possible. Then place a brown paper grocery bad over the crayons, and press the bag with an electric clothes iron. As the bag develops a "wet spot" from soaking up melted crayon, shift the bag to a dry spot. Continue until you have soaked up all crayon, buff with a green nylon scrubber pad. BTW, the iron and brown paper bag work great to get candle wax out of carpet. Good luck, and keep the kids away from the stove.

Clean floors.

It was in 1801

Hi, We live in Aylmer Quebec, and my question is about outdoor fireplace or firebox, can we burn wood?

The hearth (pronounced harth). This is also refered to as a firebox floor. If there is a grate on the floor of the firepalce it is called an ash grate which leads to an ash pit.

To dry high heat paint effectively, ensure that the painted item is placed in a well-ventilated area with low humidity. If possible, use a heat source like a heat lamp or an oven set at a low temperature (following the manufacturer's guidelines) to accelerate the drying process. Typically, high heat paints require a curing period, so allow sufficient time for the paint to harden fully before using the item. Always refer to the specific product instructions for optimal drying and curing times.

yes u can and u can look it up

Its wood isn't it

Yes. The wind can suck more heat up the chimney and suck more cold air into the house. I bet you didn't realized that a fireplace in cold weather has to draw cold air from the outside by some means into the house to feed the fireplace updraft. Go figger!

One third of the way up (follow the "golden mean").

Sometimes, the wood smell is made because of the kind of wood in your house. Try searching the nearest home depot for some kind of those cleaner things that you use to wipe the walls.

seems like it might make good tinder

Someone has given me the exact stove and mine does not have a tray for the ashes there is a solid bottom though. I am trying to find out if there is a special way to hook up the pipe, there seems to be no hole to attach the pipe to the top of the stove or does it just sit on there. let me know if you know anything. I cant find anything about this stove on the internet.

Open the flue wider - need to create a vacuum draft that sucks the smoke up the chimney and outdoors.

They are resistant to the intense heat that fires can produce

Incense or joss sticks.

Not so much, the burn off in the home is very minimal, most of the real nasty burn off comes from behind the glass. open windows and doors, it can set of a smoke detector.

Absolutely. If the temperature is BELOW 30 degrees F, you run the strong risk of burning your house down. I repeat, DO NOT use your indoor fireplace if it is colder than 30 degrees.

As a former firefighter that inspected chimneys; wood stoves; etc., fireplaces have been around a very long time in all types of weather and temperatures. The best way to use a cold chimney is to heat it slowly with a small fire. Cold chimneys will crack when heated too quickly. This is extremely dangerous. First and most important, have the chimney and fireplace checked by a professional before each season every year. Fireplaces are not very heat efficient. When not in use they bring in the cold.

Because he wants a second fire...

Or... to prevent frostbite...

Oak wood burns at a temperature of 1300 to 1600 degrees C. When burning wood, it is important to use proper safety precautions.
