Q: How can I tell if my chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are several ways to determine if your chimney or fireplace damper is open or closed. A simple method is to check for airflow by placing your hand near the fireplace opening; if you feel a draft or hear wind whistling, the damper is open. An open damper might also make the room feel cooler, similar to the outdoor temperature, or cause your HVAC system to work harder than usual. For a more definitive test, you can try a visual inspection, although it may be difficult to see. Alternatively, you can light a small piece of paper and observe the smoke; if it is drawn up the chimney, the damper is open. Always use the damper handle to adjust its position.</p></div>

Q: How do I know what type of fireplace I currently have?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it&rsquo;s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I need to repair my gas fireplace?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can keep an eye out for that indicate you may need to call in a gas fireplace repair tech:</p><ul><li><p>Your fireplace pilot light won&rsquo;t stay on.</p></li><li><p>You notice the smell of rotten eggs.</p></li><li><p>You hear hissing coming from the gas fireplace.</p></li><li><p>You notice a soot build-up.</p></li><li><p>The fire goes out unexpectedly.</p></li></ul><p>If you notice a rotten egg smell or hear hissing, you could have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-gas-leak.htm">gas leak</a>, which is extremely dangerous. Call the fire department and your gas company first to shut off the gas and air out your home before calling for a repair.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of firewood?

• <div><p>Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. For firewood, hardwoods are generally the best choice as they tend to burn longer, hotter, and produce less smoke than softwoods. Recommended hardwoods include oak, hickory, maple, cherry, ash, beech, birch, elm, and walnut. Oak is a particularly good option as it's widely available, slow-burning, and doesn't produce much smoke or sparks. Some woods, like oak, hickory, and cherry, also emit a pleasant scent. It is best to avoid softwoods such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, as they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes them difficult to light and burn efficiently.</p></div>

Q: Where can I buy replacement stove parts?

• <div><p>You can find replacement stove parts for popular brands at local hardware stores or major retailers. However, you might find the best deal by directly buying online from the manufacturer. While there are some universal parts, the manufacturer can also help you find parts that are specific to your stove&rsquo;s make and model.</p></div>

Chad says he followed the previous painter lines when he painted the fireplace mantle. I wish he had pointed that out beforehand. The white paint line goes up onto the Greige wall. He painted stair handrail. He painted mud room bench.
