Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

One of the main disadvantages of wood-burning stoves is that they use wood as fuel. This requires a lot of work, including buying or chopping wood, cutting it to the right size for your stove, and adding more logs to the fire throughout the day. You’ll also need a dry place to store the wood.

The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or close the chimney flue. The damper should remain closed unless there’s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.

With regular maintenance, a brick chimney can last 50 to 100 years. However, the various parts of the chimney—including the liner, mortar, and flashing—tend to have shorter lifespans. For example, most chimney liners last between 15 and 25 years. Meanwhile, mortar lasts 20 to 30 years before it requires repointing or tuckpointing.

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’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can use vinegar to clean quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.

The project could take anywhere from one to five das, depending on the extent of the removal. Capping a gas line can be done on the same day, whereas completely removing a fireplace and chimney can span several weeks. Talk to your pro about the timeline and potential obstacles, like fireplace material, location, and potential structural issues.
