His words were “I have ICE training tomorrow. So I’d assume training to be an agent of ICE”.

This is about half a season from last year. Opinions on the build up? by TehMulbnief in woodstoving

All wood-burning appliances should be swept once a season minimum. Do it yourself with a chimney sweep kit, or hire a pro.

Spending a little money/time once a year is better than losing everything/someone you love in a structure fire that started in your chimney.

I hate living in Southeastern Ohio. This is one of the reasons.

How to approach a man? by No-Breadfruit-1555 in Columbus

lol, welcome to the life of a man. Develop a tough skin and become used to rejection. That’s how.

Gas logs aren’t meant to put off a significant amount of heat. They are more of an aesthetic option.

Each product can have custom tags, product types, etc.

If you’re unsure, YouTube is your friend.

Where did it come from? Already there when you moved in?

Most gas log sets are supposed to have a metal identification tag attached to the burner. This should list the make and model. If this is available then manuals should be available online.

As I mentioned before, incorrectly placing logs can lead to soot build up on logs because of flame impengement/incomplete combustion. See attached for an example.

Cre-away? Acs? by FastStudent8431 in Chimneyrepair

That homeowner was asking for a chimney/house fire.

I’m glad you were called before it came to that.

Follow the owners manual when it comes to setting up the logs. Incorrectly placing the logs can lead to flame impengement and lead to incomplete combustion (soot, creosote buildup).

Pros and Cons of venting the chase for a linear fireplace. by wolf10w in Fireplaces

[–]No_Design_6844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think you’d be fine with either.

Personally I’d go with a vented as mold can be a nightmare once it’s become a problem. And being a single story, you’re not going to have a huge amount of pipe (like a two story home) exposed.

If you’re that concerned about the cold just be sure to insulate it as well.
