Classic chimney damper
  1. Have your heater serviced at least once a year
  2. Always make sure your wood is completely dry.
  3. Don't use any green wood
  4. Stack your wood north/south when loading into firebox.
  5. For over night burning, load your box up heavy and open damper completely.  Once the wood is well alight, adjust damper to a lower setting.
  6. Never burn any plastic or toxic materials.  It is bad news for your door glass, your health and the environment.
  7. Check the top of your wood heater for rust marks. This will indicate if there are any water leaks from the roof.
  8. If your chimney is attracting bees over the summer months you may want to consider a chimney damper​
