Even though a fire is contained within a stove, it is essential that you do not abuse it. After all, stoves can be incredibly dangerous when fire safety is not taken into consideration. In fact, the team here at Denton Stove Centre want to ensure that all of our customers know how to stay safe when managing a contained fire which is why we have put together this brief blog…

Air Circulation

It is important that air circulation is in place with a stove. After all, a fire requires an adequate supply of oxygen in order to burn, however, the by-products that are created must be safely and regularly released. Having this formation in place will reduce potentially harmful particles from building up and will allow you to use your stove safely.

Sweeping

Regardless of the type of fuel that you burn, it is important that a stove connected to a flue or chimney is swept in order to remove the materials that build up on the sides. After all, incomplete combustion leads to a material called creosote and over time this can cause stove damage, carbon monoxide poisoning and even chimney fires.

Children

Stoves can get incredibly hot, which is why it is important that children are always supervised when they are in use. In fact, many homeowners with families choose to install a fence around their stove in order to provide that added peace of mind that their children are not at risk.

Poker

Whilst it may seem old fashioned, the safest and most effective way to tease a fire and shuffle the fuel around is with a poker. These long iron tools allow you to keep a safe distance from the flames whilst manipulating the fire in order to encourage it to burn more effectively.

Fire can do a lot of damage very quickly. In fact, misusing a stove can actually cause a fire to spread, igniting your home in a matter of seconds. Even fooling around with one can lead to painful burns and permanent injuries which is why you should always exercise caution when dealing with a stove.
