Hello, my name is Tator, I have been working in various trades since I was 15, starting with cutting wood, and then moving to full scale tree service, and ever since I've been interested in developing my next skill, and quickly developed a passion for high quality craftsmanship, and have always loved a challenge. For almost 2 years I worked as a handyman for a local business (Joes Garage) working directly alongside the owner, who was a journeyman millwright by trade, needless to say there was no job we couldn't handle, we did roofing, electrical, drywall, flooring, outdoor patio lighting systems, grout and tile work, lawn care, painting interior and exterior, small engine repair, most of which ide also had previous experience with. I set my expectations high and exceed goals wherever possible, giving a professional, but personal touch with every service no matter what the task, because believe how you do anything is how you do everything.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

There are fire codes for a fireplace mantel made of wood or other combustible material. The mantel must be mounted at least six inches away from the fireplace opening on all sides with a non-combustible material—like stone or brick—installed between the mantel and fireplace. Building codes and regulations will vary based on your location, so before beginning the project, research the requirements in your area.

In general, it will take about 90 minutes to burn the creosote sweeping log by itself, allowing it to work its magic. This may be longer or shorter depending on the conditions of your chimney.

If your gas fireplace is vented through a chimney, a chimney cap is highly recommended. While not all gas fireplaces require a traditional chimney, for those that use one, a cap provides several key benefits. It prevents rain, debris, and animals from entering the chimney, which can cause blockages or damage. A cap also helps prevent downdrafts that could push harmful gases like carbon monoxide back into your home. When installing a cap, ensure it is appropriate for a gas fireplace and does not restrict proper ventilation.

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’s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.

Although they provide heat, light, and atmosphere, pellet stoves require electricity to run certain parts, which some homeowners may find to be an unfortunate additional expense. They can also produce noises that some may find annoying, like a low rumble from the blower fan or its motor.
