How to Make a
Good Fire in Your Fireplace
There are some time
tested methods that can allow you to make a good
fire in your fireplace, even if you were never a
Boy Scout.
A Few Tips for
Getting the Best Fire
Only use soft wood to help
get your fire started. Burning a soft wood, such
as pine, gives you a greater chance of a chimney
fire by quickly building up creosote in your
chimney.
How to Select
the Proper Chimney Cap
Size, shape, type, and
metal. If you follow these simple steps you
should have no problem choosing the correct
chimney cap for your home.
What Type of
Chimney Cap Do You Need
See if your flue sticks out above your chimney
crown, the concrete that surrounds the flue at
the top of the chimney. If it does, and your
flue is either square or a small rectangle, you
can purchase a chimney cap that will be attached
to the outside of your flue using screws.
What Type of
Metal Would be Best for Your Chimney Cap
The common materials used to create chimney caps
are copper, galvanized steel, and stainless
steel.
Choosing the
Right Size Chimney Cap
You will either need
to take measurements of your chimney on the
roof, or hire a contractor to do it for you.
Chimney Caps
for Unusual Conditions
Different chimney caps function differently in
different conditions. Some caps do not draw well
with certain wind condition, sometimes not
drawing at all.
