Q: Is a fireplace the same as a firepit or outdoor oven?

• <div><p>A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren&rsquo;t technically a fireplace as it isn&rsquo;t enclosed. An outdoor oven&mdash;commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-outdoor-pizza-oven.htm">outdoor brick pizza ovens</a>&mdash;often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you&rsquo;d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons. </p></div>

Q: Will a hot fire remove or burn off creosote?

• <div><p>A hot fire alone will not remove significant creosote buildup and can be dangerous, as it risks causing a chimney fire. While the warmth from a fire can help loosen stuck tar, making treatments like creosote logs more effective, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. For existing creosote, the safest and most effective method is to have your chimney professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep.</p></div>

Q: Why is the inside of my glass fireplace foggy?

• <div><p>This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors. </p></div>

Q: What kind of fireplace is best for resale?

• <div><p>Gas-powered fireplaces seem to be the most desirable type for homebuyers, per a <a href="https://www.redfin.com/us-home-trends">Redfin</a> report on homebuying trends. That said, any fireplace that has been maintained well and is in safe, working condition could be a draw for buyers, regardless of whether it uses wood logs, propane, or electricity as fuel.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth capping a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s worth capping a chimney. Here are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-install-chimney-cap.htm">reasons to install a chimney cap</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris</p></li><li><p>Help prevent chimney fires</p></li><li><p>Reduce your chimney&rsquo;s exposure to moisture</p></li><li><p>Maintain your chimney flue liner</p></li><li><p>Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home&rsquo;s temperature</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.

A hot fire alone will not remove significant creosote buildup and can be dangerous, as it risks causing a chimney fire. While the warmth from a fire can help loosen stuck tar, making treatments like creosote logs more effective, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. For existing creosote, the safest and most effective method is to have your chimney professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep.

That said, any fireplace that has been maintained well and is in safe, working condition could be a draw for buyers, regardless of whether it uses wood logs, propane, or electricity as fuel.

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris
Help prevent chimney fires
Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture
Maintain your chimney flue liner
Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature
