How often do you clean out your wood stove chimney?
Filed Under wood stoves | Comments Off
eric53 asked:
I have the steel insulated chimney and last year I cleaned it out about 4 times during the burning season, late October to end of March. This year, I just did it on Jan 3rd or so and I don’t plan on doing it again until April 1st. I burn nice dry wood so I am not too concerned about creosote buildup. In fact when I did clean it out, it is always crispy black built up on the inner walls of the pipe. How often do you do yours?

Metalbestos wood stove pipe?

goalaska asked:
I just bought a home that has a `Pacific Energy ‘? wood stove.
It also has a metal- lined pipe [metalbestos ?] through the roof with a cap.
Do I need to run a brush through it like a normal chimney and if yes, can I use a regular chimney brush ?

I have a wood stove in the garage getting hooked up this week. It has the fire bricks on the sides and on the bottom. Should I get a grate or something to keep the fire off the flat bottom to get more air?

where can I find self adjusting air regulators to replace the ones that came on my 70’s fisher wood stove?

Mimi asked:
I’ve got an old Fisher wood stove and I’m looking for a set of self adjusting air regulators to replace the old manual ones that came on it originally. Self adjusting to open when the fire is getting low and shut down a little when the fire is too hot.

Can I vent a wood stove through a Chimney that vents the oil furnace?
Filed Under wood stoves | Comments Off
Cortney R asked:
We have an existing chimney that our oil furnace is vented through…Can we also install a Wood stove to vent through the same chimney?
I truly have no idea if the chimney is lined. The chimney opening in the house is close off and drywalled over. But we know that the oil furnace is vented through it.

The wood stove I know causes a higher premium on my home owners insurance. I’ve never used it. Is it a positive or a negative selling point. I have a new furnace and Central Air unit.
