Getting ready for winter is easy, but not something that everyone does in advance. Direct Stove has come out with a safety list for owners of wood burning stoves , to help them get ready for the winter months. Mentioned below, are a few points suggested by them to prepare wood burning stoves:

The first thing to do is to clean the chimney sweep. These are prone to deposits from exhaust gases that can condense inside the chimney and ignite. Instances of fire breaking out because of creosote buildups are common. There are many registered chimneys sweeps available online to help users. The chimney will have to be inspected by a professional who can inspect with help from modern and up to date gadgets and follow safety procedures when doing so.

The stove will have to be cleaned thoroughly with warm soap water. And when doing so, the glass door will also have to be cleaned well. Users also ought to ensure that the rope seal around the glass door fits snugly. Thus, air is allowed only through ventilation controls. The door should also be checked to ensure that it opens and closes properly.

The flue is also to be checked for corrosion. If corroded, the joints should be rubbed, and filled with fire cement. Once dry, this can be repainted with heat proof paint.

It is also important to ensure that the dampener opens and closes properly.

The thermostat of wood burning stoves is also to be checked. The thermostat helps to control the temperature of the stove. Thus fuel consumption can be controlled.

And last, but not the least, it is important to stock up on good quality wood that is seasoned for at least six months. This wood reduces the formation of creosote, or exhaust gases that cause fire. For those who bother to search for supplies very early on, from local farmers, and tree surgeons. And these are affordable as well. In fact, a year’s supply of wood can be sourced for less than £1500. And the heat from wood burning stoves can be used not only to heat the house, but also for cooking.
