Q: Should a chimney flue be open or closed?

• <div><p>The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-close-chimney-flue.htm">close the chimney flue</a>. The damper should remain closed unless there&rsquo;s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.</p></div>

Q: What are the health issues with wood-burning stoves?

• <div><p>Both wood-burning stoves and fireplaces can emit smoke and other combustion gases that are harmful to human health. <a href="https://www.lung.org/blog/wood-burning-stoves-and-heaters">According to the American Lung Association</a>, wood smoke can lead to coughing and wheezing as well as long-term health impacts like increased risks for heart attacks and stroke. </p><p>Newer models meet the modern efficiency standards set in 2020 by the Environmental Protection Agency for cleaner burning, more efficient wood stoves. Regular maintenance can also minimize smoke.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a chimney liner if I don’t have any issues?

• <div><p>A chimney liner is a good thing to invest in regardless of if you have issues or not. Chimney liners increase the safety of your fireplace. Without a chimney liner, the gasses that get emitted during burning could eventually damage the masonry and create a major fire hazard in your home. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my chimney is safe to use?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote&mdash;a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar&mdash;it&rsquo;s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.</p></div>

Q: Are new wood stoves better than old?

• <div><p>In some aspects, yes, new wood stoves are better than old ones. For example, today&rsquo;s EPA emission limits for wood-burning stoves are much lower than they were several decades ago. Stoves that meet these stricter standards produce less air pollution, reduce fire risks, and decrease your risk of inhaling harmful particles.</p></div>
