Wood heat safety
from woodheat.org

Get it right so you don't have to worry

A safe woodburning system consists of:

• a safety certified stove, fireplace or furnace
• the right type of chimney for the appliance
• a system design that avoids safety compromises
• reliable advice on safe installation, or preferably, installation by a qualified professional

Before you make decisions about your new hearth, visit at least two specialty stove and fireplace retail stores and ask a lot of questions. Only then will you begin to get a balanced view of how to match your needs and objectives with a system that will achieve them. The choices you make now will pay off later in comfort and piece of mind.
