Q: Can you burn wood that has oak wilt?

• <div><p>You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won&rsquo;t threaten <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-healthy-tree.htm">healthy trees</a>. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season&mdash;do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.</p></div>

Q: How often do I need to clean my chimney?

• <div><p>You should get your chimney cleaned around once per year, but you might want to opt for bi-annual cleanings if you use your fireplace often. Remember, your boiler likely vents into your chimney as well, so cleaning is required even if you don&rsquo;t use your fireplace. It&rsquo;s a good idea to clean your chimney during the summer so that it&rsquo;s ready to use when you want a worry-free cozy fire on that first crisp autumn night of the season.</p></div>

Q: What holds a chimney liner in place?

• <div><p>A chimney liner is held in place by a top plate and attached top clamp, both of which should be included in most chimney liner kits. The top plate seals to the top of the chimney flue and attaches directly to the liner. This not only holds the liner in place but supports its weight in the chimney.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance helps keep fireplaces and chimneys in good condition?

• <div><p>Creosote control, maintaining cap mesh integrity, and swift repairs keep systems robust.</p></div>

Q: How do you light a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>How to light a gas fireplace depends on the particular model of gas fireplace you have in your home. In most cases, you can light gas fireplaces using a control panel, remote, key, or switch. You should reference your fireplace&rsquo;s manual to see how your unit operates.</p></div>
