Woodburners and Open fires - Fire prevention considerations

Select the smallest woodburner for the size of your room to achieve the best burning and safest solution.  Always take professional advice on the stove and flue lining and get it installed by a reputable supplier.  Woodburners generate a lot of heat, even up the flue.

Check with your insurance company regarding your cover in relation to stoves and open fires.

Open fires generate less heat up the chimney but flues are still recommended as is professional advice.

Fuel

Do not burn wet or unseasoned wood as it will leave greater tar deposits which increase the fire hazard.
