Q: How do I know if my chimney is safe to use?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote&mdash;a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar&mdash;it&rsquo;s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.</p></div>

Q: Can a stove last 20 years?

• <div><p>While most stoves won&rsquo;t last two decades, some do! Gas stoves and pellet stoves are more likely to go the distance than electric stoves or induction cooktops, and maintenance can go a long way toward increasing longevity.</p></div>

Q: What are the different fireplace insert choices?

• <div><p>There are six main choices of fireplace inserts: wood-burning, gas, propane, pellet, electric, and coal. Coal fireplace inserts aren&rsquo;t as popular as they once were because burning coal emits a lot of carbon monoxide. Any fireplace insert will require proper supervision, and it&rsquo;s a good idea to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room for added safety.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a pro add a damper to a chimney?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/chimney-damper-replacement-cost.htm">cost to replace a chimney damper</a> ranges from <b>$160 to $520</b>, depending on the type of damper and the complexity of the installation. If you're looking to repair an existing damper, expect to pay around <b>$100 and $225,</b> depending on the extent of the damage and your location. Hiring a professional ensures proper installation or repair, which can help maintain energy efficiency and prevent drafts, making it a worthwhile investment for long-term savings. </p></div>

Q: What do you put in the bottom of a fire pit?

• <div><p>Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.</p></div>
