As the days grow colder many of us are looking at how to stay warm. While staying wrapped up in blankets is toasty – it is not very practical.
A wood heater is a great option, but the smoke can upset your neighbours and pollute the air.
Here are some handy tips to help avoid this:
- Have the flue cleaned. Build-up of soot can cause fires in the flue and will affect air flow causing smoky fires.
- Use dry and seasoned timber to ensure a clean hot burn with minimal smoke. It is too late to dry out green timber that has been cut down recently.
- Avoid overloading or shutting off the air intake as it will cause excessive smoke.
