Q: Can I put a pellet stove in a corner?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you&rsquo;re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don&rsquo;t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation&mdash;you&rsquo;ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it&rsquo;s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner&rsquo;s manual for specific instructions.</p></div>

Q: Will having a pellet stove raise my insurance rates?

• <div><p>Having a pellet stove can indeed raise your insurance rates since they're a relatively common cause of fires in the home. However, rate increases vary by insurance provider so you should reach out to yours to determine exactly how much your rates might increase with a new pellet stove install.</p></div>

Q: Why doesn’t my chimney flue close?

• <div><p>If you haven&rsquo;t had your chimney cleaned in some time, soot and grime can build up, making it difficult for the lever to release to close the flue. When this happens, locate the lever and clean it thoroughly. If this doesn&rsquo;t help, consult with a fireplace repair pro to examine it for you.</p></div>

Q: Do all wood-burning fireplaces have an ash pit?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a wood fireplace and a wood insert?

• <div><p>They&rsquo;re both <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-wood-burning-fireplace-options-heat-your-home.htm">types of wood-burning fireplaces</a>, but a wood fireplace is built directly into a wall and attached to a chimney. A built-in wood fireplace often has an open hearth, although some models have an enclosed hearth. On the other hand, a wood-burning fireplace insert is a self-contained box that slides into an existing fireplace opening.</p></div>
