Q: Does vinegar work to clean a stone fireplace?

• <div><p>If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It&rsquo;s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/six-clever-ways-clean-vinegar.htm">use vinegar to clean</a> quite a few different items around your home, and it&rsquo;s especially good at removing stains.</p></div>

Q: Can you just let a fire burn out in a fireplace?

• <div><p>You can let a fire burn out in a fireplace as long as you or someone else will stick around to monitor it until it goes completely out. This may take several hours. To prepare, stop adding fuel to the fire well before you&rsquo;re ready to call it a night. If you&rsquo;re using the fireplace for warmth, you&rsquo;ll want to cover up in some blankets as the flame dies down.</p></div>

Q: Does an outdoor fireplace need a chimney liner?

• <div><p>A chimney liner isn&rsquo;t required for an outdoor fireplace; you don&rsquo;t technically need one if the masonry chimney uses the proper dimensions and is built to code. However, a chimney liner does serve as a protective coating for the flue. Adding a liner could improve performance, safety, and durability. In short, while not necessary, it wouldn&rsquo;t hurt. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a fireplace with a cracked flue?

• <div><p>You can, but you shouldn&rsquo;t. While you can still start a fire in your fireplace, the smoke and other fumes won&rsquo;t have a proper way to escape if the flue is cracked. By continuing to operate your fireplace, wood stove, or furnace, you are putting your home at risk of absorbing toxic byproducts of the fire source.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my wood stove is leaking carbon monoxide?

• <div><p>The most common sign of a carbon monoxide leak is the visible black soot marks on the walls near your wood stove. An excess accumulation of smoke in other rooms of your home could also indicate that your wood burning stove is leaking carbon monoxide. If you notice either of these signs or are still unsure, it&rsquo;s best to leave the premises and contact your fire department to check your home&rsquo;s levels. </p></div>
