Q: How do you control the flame on a pellet stove?

• <div><p>You can control the flame on a pellet stove by using a damper, often located on the back of the pellet stove. While the damper function varies by model, you can open the damper slightly to let in more air or close it slightly to provide less oxygen, with the ultimate goal of providing a steady flame.</p></div>

Q: How do different stove options influence the overall installation expenses?

• <div><p>Costs depend on stove type, venting complexity, and additional features like hearth pads or decorative finishes.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop my fireplace from smoking?

• <div><p>How you stop your fireplace from smoking depends on the cause. Sometimes it&rsquo;s as simple as opening the damper. Other times, you need to battle air pressure. The best course of action is to ensure proper ventilation, whether that means opening a door or a window; avoid building a large fire, which produces more smoke; and use seasoned hardwoods, which produce less smoke than other types of wood. If the issue persists, call a pro ASAP.</p></div>

Q: Does a hearth have to be a certain size?

• <div><p>The short answer is yes, as hearths need to extend a certain distance out from the fire. This is usually around at least a foot in front but is often more, closer to two feet even. There is another distance to consider, which is the distance beyond the opening of the fireplace. Each municipality will have different code requirements. </p></div>

Q: Is an electric fireplace worth it?

• <div><p>If you're looking for supplemental heating for your home, an electric fireplace can be worth purchasing. A prefab, freestanding model will only set you back a few hundred dollars and can help to heat up drafty or cooler rooms. Electric fireplaces don't have the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fireplace-maintenance-tips.htm">maintenance requirements of gas or wood-burning fireplaces</a> and don't require you to buy wood or other fuel. </p></div>
