Tips For Safely Using Your Wood-burning Stove
When your wood-burning stove is in use, never leave it unattended, and be sure to
follow these safety practices:
- Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar combustible
liquids to start a fire.
- Always keep the fireplace damper fully opened when the fireplace is in use.
- Use a grate to hold the logs or fuel load. A grate promotes a uniform fire and prevents
logs from rolling out of the firebox.
- When a fire is burning, the fire screen or door should always be in place.
