"I had a great experience with Luna Masonry (Jose did the work; he's also the owner). I called because there was a water leak coming into the ceiling of the 2nd floor of our older house, near the chimney. Jose came out the same day, got on the roof, diagnosed the problem and sent me pics of the area of the leak with a quote (it was reasonably priced). He did a great job. Jose is pleasant and professional, and he's any excellent craftsman. I'd use him again, without hesitation."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

While you have some flexibility in the types of wood you can use in your outdoor furnace, it's important to make wise choices for optimal performance and efficiency. Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, and cherry, are generally recommended for their higher energy content and cleaner burn. These hardwoods produce more heat per volume and tend to produce fewer creosote deposits, which can accumulate and cause a chimney fire, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Your fireplace flue is open when the chimney is unsealed and open to the outside air and sky. That’s why one of the best ways to figure out if your flue is open is to visually check for daylight inside of your chimney—or to feel for a draft, which may be generated by the difference in temperatures inside and outside of your home.

Some homes with wood-burning fireplaces don't have ash pits due to design choices, construction practices, or the age of the house. Many older abodes don't have them because ash pits weren't a standard feature when they were built. Additionally, in smaller homes or homes with less frequent fireplace use, builders might have opted to forgo an ash pit to reduce costs or simplify maintenance.

No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.

Common problems include pilot light failure, clogged burners, and faulty ignition systems. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.
