Fireplaces FAQ
Q: Can I use wood in my gas-burning fireplace?
A: No. A gas fireplace is meant for burning gas, so to burn wood in it would be a bad idea. The gas jets inside are not meant to withstand ash, and the fireplace itself is designed for burning gas gasses, not the gasses released from burning wood. Buring wood in the gas burning fireplace would be a real fire hazard and is not recommended.
Q: How often should I clean my wood-burning fireplace or stove?
A: According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), it is recommended you clean your fireplace at least once a year or after burning one cord of wood. See our Preventative Maintenance Program for more information.
Q: How can I keep my fireplace safer than usual, and avoid cleaning it as often as I do?
A: Have the chimney inspected and cleaned regularly; If you use the fireplace frequently, then you should have it cleaned more often; Build smaller, hotter fires that burn more completely and produce less smoke, We recommend gas logs for consistency, or use seasoned woods; never burn cardboard, wrapping paper, trash, junk or Christmas trees - these can spark a chimney fire.
