The exact lifespan depends on factors like frequency of use and how well the stove is cared for. Proper maintenance&mdash;such as periodically cleaning the vents, vacuuming the ash pan, and refreshing the pellets as needed&mdash;can significantly extend its life, making it a worthwhile long-term investment.</p></div>

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>

Compared to certain types of firewood like pine or spruce—which burn off sticky resin contained within the wood that creates lots of smoke—elm isn’t the worst option for burning in a fireplace.

Because elm wood is dense, it burns at a moderate pace and does a pretty good job of keeping your home warm. Hardwood like maple or oak may perform slightly better, but elm isn’t a bad choice overall.

Wood fireplace inserts produce more heat without replacing the whole system. A fireplace installer can verify that you have a connector and chimney system to fit the wood-burning insert.

Gas fireplace inserts require less maintenance and are an efficient way to produce warmth. Some can also produce heat in the event of a power outage.

Electric fireplace inserts don't have a real open flame, so they produce flames that mimic a real fire surrounded by artificial logs with LED light. Many electric fireplace inserts produce heat from glowing elements while only using electricity.
