Safe Wood-Burning Practices
When using your wood burning appliance, follow these guidelines for safe operation:
Keep flammable items, like curtains, furniture, newspapers, and books, away from
your appliance.
Only use newspaper, dry kindling and all-natural or organic fire starters. Never start a
fire with gasoline, kerosene, or charcoal starter.
Do not burn wet or green (unseasoned) wood.
Many wax and sawdust logs are made for open hearth fireplaces only. Check your
wood stove or fireplace module operating instructions before using artificial logs.
If you use manufactured logs, choose those made from 100 percent compressed
sawdust.
Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not safe or efficient.
Keep the doors of your wood-burning appliance closed unless loading or stoking the
live fire. Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home.
Regularly remove ashes into a covered, metal container. Store the container outdoors
on a nonflammable surface.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
