There is nothing better than snuggling up to a warm cozy fire in your home when winter’s here. Did you know that there are some very simple ways to help maintain your fireplace so that you can have a more worry-free fire experience? Something as simple as choosing the right kind of wood to burn can cut down on creosote build up and make for less trips to clean by your chimney sweep. And don’t forget that burning a “Chimney Sweep” log won’t take the place of a proper cleaning. What it can do though is help to break down some of the creosote between cleanings. The best and most cured wood will create a very light ash that will fly up the chimney with the least amount of build up being left behind to cause those scary chimney fires. So take care of your chimney and you can enjoy those snowfilled evenings snuggled up with loved ones watching a roaring fire!
