Q: How tall does a chimney need to be for an outdoor fireplace?

• <div><p>The height of the chimney for your outdoor fireplace depends on where the fireplace is located. Ideally, the chimney should be 2 to 3 feet higher than surrounding structures; this allows smoke to ventilate properly without endangering anyone or anything.</p><p><b>Note: </b>Your municipality may have strict requirements regarding chimney heights, so it&rsquo;s always a good idea to check local building codes. </p></div>

Q: How can you keep a house warm with single-pane windows?

• <div><p>Single-pane windows might let in the cold, but if you&rsquo;re not ready for a long-term solution or window replacement, there are quick fixes to keep your space warmer. Start by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-winterize-your-windows-and-doors.htm">sealing gaps with weatherstripping</a> or caulking around the frame to block drafts. For an extra barrier, apply window insulation film to the glass, trapping an air pocket between the film and the window. Thick curtains or thermal drapes can also help keep the chill at bay. And if you&rsquo;re in a pinch and looking to get creative, bubble wrap can provide a surprisingly effective layer of insulation&mdash;just spritz the window with water and press it on, bubble side in. </p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of a wood furnace?

• <div><p>One disadvantage of a wood furnace is that you need a constant supply of wood to run it. Even if you have a good amount of wood on your property (or have another way to get affordable wood), you&rsquo;ll still need to chop it, store it, and re-fuel your furnace with it to keep your house heated. </p></div>

Q: What materials should I not use to clean soot off a stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Avoid using abrasive cleansing powders on natural stone, as these products could damage the porous material. Using bleach is also a poor idea because of the porosity of the stone. Avoid using a scrub brush with metal bristles, as they could scratch the stone. If you know who manufactured your stone or who installed the fireplace, you may want to contact that entity for any advice on cleaning it safely.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is firewood cheapest?

• <div><p>Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well. </p></div>
