Q: Can I light my gas fireplace manually?

• <div><p>If you have a gas fireplace with an electric ignition and you&rsquo;re experiencing a power outage, you will need to light your fireplace&rsquo;s pilot manually before you can start a fire. The instructions should be in the manufacturer&rsquo;s manual.</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: Where is the chimney crown located?

• <div><p>Chimney crowns are located above the final brick layer at the top of a chimney. It&rsquo;s important to get regular chimney maintenance and inspection, because it is near impossible to spot chimney crown damage without getting on your roof. </p></div>

Q: Does vinegar work to clean a stone fireplace?

• <div><p>If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It&rsquo;s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/six-clever-ways-clean-vinegar.htm">use vinegar to clean</a> quite a few different items around your home, and it&rsquo;s especially good at removing stains.</p></div>
