A wood burning stove is an outdoor heating appliance that uses wood as fuel and wood-based biomass fuel, including sawdust or mulch. Generally the appliance is comprised of a sturdy metal enclosed fire box, frequently lined with decorative fire brick, and at least one or more adjustable air controls. In addition, wood burning stoves generally include a grate that can be lowered to allow fuel to enter the burning chamber and a flue that can be sealed to prevent smoke from escaping. These stoves are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and designs.

If your chimney has caught fire, caused by an electrical fire or a flue overflow, you may need immediate chimney repair and inspection. The first thing to do, when you have a problem with your chimney is to call a professional chimney sweep in East Hampton, NY to come out and inspect it.

The Best Way to Address Chimney Leaks? It’s not rocket science but it does take a lot of common sense to figure it out. Your chimney flashing might not last forever either and that’s ok. Most homes do actually have elements which are designed not to outlive houses themselves.

One of the main benefits of a prefabricated chimney, or factory built chimney, is that it is much faster than a traditional masonry chimney, and can be put up in less than 2 hours. With a regular masonry chimney it can take up to 6 hours, or even more depending on the size and placement, to build. Also, in some cases the chimneys have to be removed prior to burning, which can be problematic.
