You just bought a home with a wood fireplace.
Bill Feela has hit upon a very important subject for some home owners.
The allure of a wood burning fireplace is great.
Even the thought of saving money with some kind of a wood burning stove
draws great attention.
If you have not experience in these items, this is a very good blog to read.
Your new home has a wood fireplace or free standing stove.
Never had a wood burning setup, so Now What.
First, decide if you want to use it.
Wood can be messy. Smell and even bring in bugs.
After a period of time you need to get up on the roof and clean the chimney ore hire it done.
You need to decide if you will cut your own wood or buy it.
Is the wood on your land?
Do you have a chains saw and a wood splitter?
And about a place to store it.
I an not trying to talk you out of it, I love my wood stove although it is an out door burner so I don't get the mess.
bu, I do cut my own wood. I have a tractor to haul it out of my OWN woods.
Cutting your own firewood can save a lot of money, but going at it blind can be dangerous.
Partner up with an experienced wood cutter and listen to what the dangers are.

This is just a small start for me each year. I usually need 15 of these loads
Remember...SAFETY FIRST!!!!
