Another reminder to make sure your wood is split into smaller pieces for an easier more efficient burn!

🌧️ Rain’s on the way – keep your firewood dry! 🔥

We've had some beautiful weather lately, but with plenty of rain on the way tomorrow, now is the time to make sure your firewood is undercover and protected from the weather.

Burning dry seasoned firewood is important for a hotter and cleaner burn.

Wet wood can lead to less heat and increased build up in your chimney - something we've been seeing a lot of this winter.

Keep it covered, keep it dry and get the best out of your wood heater!

Swing the axe, improve the burn!
🔥Why cutting your wood smaller improves your fire.🔥

> Burns faster – smaller wood heats up and catches fire more quickly.
> Burns more completely – more of the wood is used, leaving less unburnt material.
> Gives steadier heat – even-sized pieces help keep combustion more consistent.
> Can reduce smoke and CO – better burning can produce fewer incomplete combustion gases.
> Easier to control – smaller pieces are easier to feed into the combustion unit.
> Better efficiency – more of the wood’s energy can be released.

Note: We aren't talking about all your wood, larger pieces are good for a longer burn but smaller wood burns better.

Take a look at this crazy before and after of a blocked flue from yesterday.
This kind of thing is what we are seeing a lot of due to the wet and unseasoned wood.
Stay on top of cleaning your wood heater to prevent it from ending up like this one!

A quick reminder about using dry firewood 🪵

Lately, we’ve been seeing a number of chimneys becoming blocked, and one of the biggest contributors has been wet or unseasoned firewood.

Wet wood creates more smoke, moisture and buildup inside your flue, which leads to poor heater performance, a blocked flue and dangerous conditions over time.

Burn Smarter, Stay Warmer

We've been seeing a lot of unseasoned firewood around lately, and it's causing smoke, poor heater performance and increased creosote build-up in chimneys.

Here are a few simple ways to keep your wood heater running safely and efficiently:

🔥Have your wood heater serviced regularly
🔥Burn your heater hot
🔥Burn dry, seasoned firewood

A well-maintained wood heater will:
- Heat your home more effectively.
- Use less firewood.
- Keep your family safer.
- Produce a cleaner burn with fewer emissions.

One of the finest ways to heat your home, this Heavenly Heat Masonry Heater is as beautiful as it is practical. We loved being part of this project and are incredibly impressed with both its stunning design and exceptional performance. The added ability to cook in at any time makes it an even more versatile and enjoyable centerpiece for the home.

A masonry heater is a fast-burning wood heater, not a slow-combustion heater. These Heavenly Heat Masonry heaters are filled with wood and lit, then allowed to burn through. No extra wood is added while the fire is burning. Because the fire burns very hot, it is highly efficient and produces very low emissions. Instead of letting the heat go straight up the flue, the hot gases travel through channels inside the heater. The heat is absorbed and stored in the masonry before the gases leave through the flue. The stored heat is then slowly released as gentle, even warmth for 18–24 hours after the fire has gone out.
Finished off with a fully insulated room seal flue from Pivot Stove & Heating for its looks and added efficiency.
