"Dr. Chimney knows his chimneys. And fireplaces. I have two monster fireplaces and one 30ft chimney and he looked at the chimney and said it's not code and doesn't have a crown and is wearing away at the top, and I said let's put one on, and he did, with the aid of his partner and 30ft scaffolding. It looks great and is guaranteed fifteen years. Then he cleaned my fireplaces, which is why he was originally called, and no one in twenty years has cleaned them so thoroughly, they look so good I hate to burn wood in them, but I will, as soon as the crown cures, that very moment we will have a cheery blaze. Dr. Chimney says we have now become part of the Dr. Chimney Family, and this is just to let him know we are proud to be members."

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.
Modern gas fireplaces are relatively efficient and don't burn excessive amounts of gas, especially compared to older models. A gas fireplace might use between 10,000 to 40,000 BTUs per hour; the total amount of gas used depends on the fireplace's size, heat output, and how often it's in use. To help keep your running costs down, consider using a thermostat and turning off the fireplace when not needed to minimize gas consumption
You can burn wood with oak wilt, as heat from the fire destroys the fungus, and smoke won’t threaten healthy trees. However, wood of unknown origin should be burned during the dormant season—do not store wood in the warmer months for the winter season. If you harvest oak, let it dry in the sun before transporting it elsewhere.
