Q: How do I know if my wood stove catalyst is bad?

• <div><p>When your wood stove catalyst goes bad, it can cause your stove to produce less heat or run slower than normal. You might also notice thick black smoke coming out of your chimney. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-installs-wood-burning-stoves.htm">who installs wood-burning stoves</a> and repairs them for an inspection and fix.</p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces generate ash?

• <div><p>No, because they burn propane or natural gas, gas fireplaces do not generate ash like wood-burning fireplaces. However, gas fireplaces <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-gas-fireplace.htm">require maintenance</a>, such as cleaning the glass doors, checking for debris in the burner or vents, and ensuring the logs or glass stones are in place. This maintenance ensures that the fireplace continues to operate efficiently and safely.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a chimney cover and a chimney cap?

• <div><p>A chimney requires both a cover and a cap, but these parts often get confused with one another. A chimney cover seals the top of the chimney around the flue pipe to prevent water from entering the chimney. A chimney cap is a piece that sits above the flue to prevent animals, debris, and water from entering the flue. </p></div>

Q: How do I safely dispose of fireplace ash?

• <div><p>Once your ashes have fully cooled, you can place them in a heavy-duty trash bag and put them into the bin with your normal trash. If you have wood ash, you can add the ash to your composting pile or sprinkle it over your grass or plants directly for added nutrients.</p></div>
