Q: Do I need a damper in my chimney?

• <div><p>Dampers are essential for every chimney. When open, they help move smoke up the chimney so it doesn&rsquo;t blow back into the house. They help prevent energy loss and also keep out debris and animals when closed.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to run a bioethanol fireplace?

• <div><p>A liter of bioethanol costs $11 and burns for around four hours, making it cost around $2.75 per hour to keep your bioethanol fireplace running. For comparison, natural gas costs around $0.50 per hour, and propane costs around $1.60 per hour. </p><p>How much it costs you to run your bioethanol fireplace largely depends on how often you use it. Hypothetically speaking, if you run your fireplace for four hours a week year-round, you&rsquo;ll go through one liter of biofuel per week or about $570 per year to run the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of a chimney cap?

• <div><p>While chimney caps are an essential component of maintaining a safe, long-lasting chimney, they have disadvantages, too. The mesh of the chimney cap clogs easily with creosote, making it more difficult for the necessary oxygen to reach the fire. Chimney caps also develop discoloration and rust stains over time, causing damage to interior chimney walls.</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>

Q: Which wood is best for firewood?

• <div><p>Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. While both are good options for firewood, hardwoods like oak, hickory, beech, cherry, elm, and maple tend to be the best quality. These woods burn longer and hotter than softwoods and often produce less smoke. As an added bonus, woods like oak, hickory, and cherry emit a sought-after scent that is sure to make your home extra cozy. </p></div>
