Good morning Roy. Bee years since I had a wood burning fireplace or used charcoal for grilling. Remember well the precautions necessary. Enjoy your day.

Excellent PSA, Roy... so many house fires have started with the incorrect disposal of hot ashes.

Hello Roy - being and staying aware each day is important.  There are some seasonal activities that may cause extra attention to our awareness.

Roy,

This is wonderful advice.  We keep our ashes tightly under the lid.  We are very prudent given our area.  A

That's important information to share this time of year.  I haven't lit my fireplace yet this year, but suspect it won't be long now.
