Q: What are the health issues with wood-burning stoves?

• <div><p>Both wood-burning stoves and fireplaces can emit smoke and other combustion gases that are harmful to human health. <a href="https://www.lung.org/blog/wood-burning-stoves-and-heaters">According to the American Lung Association</a>, wood smoke can lead to coughing and wheezing as well as long-term health impacts like increased risks for heart attacks and stroke. </p><p>Newer models meet the modern efficiency standards set in 2020 by the Environmental Protection Agency for cleaner burning, more efficient wood stoves. Regular maintenance can also minimize smoke.</p></div>

Q: What stops water going down a chimney?

• <div><p>Your chimney needs a structurally sound chimney cap, protective lining, damper, chimney flashing, and brick and mortar to prevent water from goind down your chimney. A pro can help you identify where the issue is so that you can stop water from coming down the smoke shaft, through your damper, and into your home.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean brick?

• <div><p>For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.</p></div>

Q: Are chimney crowns the same thing as a chimney caps?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Are there any limitations to using wood stove fans?

• <div><p>While wood stove fans are effective for improving heat distribution, they rely on the stove reaching a certain temperature to operate efficiently. If the stove does not generate enough heat, the fan may not start or may not move air effectively. Additionally, like any fan, wood stove fans cannot cool a stove or reduce its heat output&mdash;they only redistribute existing warmth. </p></div>
