"I hate to leave a bad review of any business but my experience as a customer with WB Chimney has been terrible. They did a horrible job on my wood stove install and it's been a major headache and expense getting it fixed. I'll say that I reached out to them multiple times over the course of two weeks before submitting this review but never once got a response. I had a new wood stove and chimney pipe installed by WB chimney 3 years ago. My roof was brand new at the time. They were a relatively new company but seemed friendly. After 2 years, my roof began to leak directly from the stove pipe in the ceiling. After contacting WB Chimney, they recommended scheduling a service call where they could *****. Because the warranty on the stove install was only 1 year, I paid them $150 to come out. The technicians assessed the roof and stove pipe and added some caulking. The whole assessment and "fix" took 10 minutes. This did nothing to solve my water leak problem. After contacting WB Chimney again, they suggested that there was probably an issue somewhere else on the roof, which is making its way in through the stove pipe. Their recommendation was for me to have a roofer assess the problem. I had the company that installed my roof come out to take a look. This is a local company who has an excellent reputation and has been in business for 20 years. The roofers assessment was that the stove pipe had been installed completely wrong and was bound to fail from the beginning. The cheap and easy fix of slapping a bunch of caulk around the holes was about as shoddy a fix as one could do. Not being a roofing expert, I tried to contact WB Chimney to see what they had to say. Of course I never heard anything back. With no other option I paid the roofing company another $850 to re-shingle and re-caulk around the stove piping. This was nearly as much as I'd paid WB in the first place for the install. That solved the issue. After a month of heavy spring rains, I have yet to have another leak or any other problem. Again, I contacted WB Chimney nearly a dozen times to see if they had anything to say. Never received any response! If I were you, I'd take my business elsewhere to a company that knows what they're doing"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Regular cleaning, checking venting, and scheduling professional inspections help ensure safe operation.

Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.

Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.

One of the main disadvantages of wood-burning stoves is that they use wood as fuel. This requires a lot of work, including buying or chopping wood, cutting it to the right size for your stove, and adding more logs to the fire throughout the day. You’ll also need a dry place to store the wood.

No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.

Once your ashes have fully cooled, you can place them in a heavy-duty trash bag and put them into the bin with your normal trash. If you have wood ash, you can add the ash to your composting pile or sprinkle it over your grass or plants directly for added nutrients.
