Q: What to spray in a fireplace for smell?

• <div><p>When your fireplace is not in use for longer periods of time, such as over the summer, you can keep smells at bay by spraying either a commercial fireplace deodorizing product or a blend of one part distilled white vinegar to one part water around the walls of the fireplace. </p><p>Or, you can place a container of charcoal inside the fireplace to absorb odors. Just be sure to remove it before it&rsquo;s time to start using the fireplace again.</p></div>

Q: Can you burn wood with Dutch elm disease?

• <div><p>Yes, burning wood with Dutch elm disease is a safer way to dispose of it than, say, tossing it in with the rest of your yard waste, which could potentially allow it to spread to healthy trees. But it&rsquo;s always a good idea to check with your local government to make sure you&rsquo;re complying with any ordinances about removing diseased trees as well as burning brush piles.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a gas fireplace insert?

• <div><p>For many people, the primary disadvantage of a gas fireplace insert is that it doesn&rsquo;t look or smell like a classic wood-burning fire. Additionally, the labor costs of installing a gas insert are higher than some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-fireplace-inserts.htm">types of fireplace inserts</a>, including electric and pellet inserts. There are also limitations on where you can install ventless gas fireplaces because they&rsquo;re banned in certain places (including California).</p></div>

Q: Can you burn wood filled with sap?

• <div><p>Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being &ldquo;green&rdquo; when it&rsquo;s first cut. Green wood doesn&rsquo;t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.</p></div>

Q: What is a fireplace with no chimney called?

• <div><p>A fireplace that doesn&rsquo;t require a chimney is simply called a chimneyless fireplace. Don&rsquo;t confuse these with ventless fireplaces, however. There are some fireplaces that require ventilation via a system of pipes, not a chimney. More specifically, the fireplace in question will likely be called by its name, such as electric, ethanol, or balanced flue.</p></div>
