Safe Wood‐Burning Practices
Once your wood‐burning appliance is properly installed, follow these guidelines for safe
operation:
 Keep all flammable househould items‐drapes, furniture, newspapers, and books‐far
away from the appliance.
Start fires only with 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) logs.
Do not use logs made from wax and sawdust in your wood stove‐they are made for open
hearth fireplaces. If you use manufactured logs, choose from those made from 100 percent
compressed saw dust.
Build hot fires. For most appliances, a smoldering fire is not a safe or efficient fire.
Keep the doors to your wood‐burning appliance closes unless loading or stoking the live fire.
Harmful chemicals, like carbon monoxide, can be released into your home.
Regularly remove ashes from your wood‐burning appliance into a metal container with a
cover. Store the container of ashes outdoors on a cement or brick slab (not on a wood deck
or near wood). See ash removal instructions in your owner's manual.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Remember to check your local air quality forecast before you burn.
