Woodstove
Safety Is
Encouraged
In Winter
Woodburning stoves
can save energy; but they
can kill if they are not in
stalled apdjjsed proper
ly. The North Carolina
Insurancr'News Service
reports fhat woodburn
ing stoves have caused
many deaths and injuries
during the past few
heating seasons. In many '
other cases no one died
or suffered injury, but
fire destroyed or severely
damaged homes.
Ironically, Benjamin
Franklin designed the
Franklin stove to
eliminate the dangers of .
an open fireplace. If it is
used properly, any
woodburning stove "will
remove those hazards.
But the stove creates
its own hazards if it is in- ';
stalled improperly.
Homeowners create one
of the most common
hazards by placing the
stove or its pipe too close
to surfaces that can catch -on
fire. One insurance
company reported a
North Carolina lire in
which two persons died
because the stove was in
stalled too close to a
wooden surface.
The National Fire Pro
tection Association,
recommends a three-foot
clearance between the.
stove and any wall, ceil
ing or other material that
will burn. Firewood
must be stacked away
from the stove. One
company reported a
home fire with
thousands of dollars
worth of damage
because the wood stack
near the stove caught on
fire. The homeowner
should place the stove
itself on a pad that will
not catch fire.
The homeowner or
commercial installer can v
create a serious hazard
by improperly installing
the stove pipe which car
ries the' smoker 'and gas J
into the chimney or
directly to the outside.
The heat buildup in the
stove pipe can be enough
to ignite walls, ceilings.
anu vinvi oui i uvvj vu
must provide at least a
foot and a , half of.,
clearance between the
pipe and surfaces that
will burn. The joints of
the pipe must be fitted "
properly to prevent,
sparks from escaping.
If you use an existing
fireplace chimney, it
must be sealed off below
the stovepipe's point of
entry to prevent a toxic
gases from backing up
into the room. This can
be done by sealing off
the fireplace opening off .
the flue itself between
II1C MUVCyiyt tUIIIICtlUJII.
and the fireplace open
ing. You should avoid con
necting more than one
heating device to a single
chimney flue because
flue gases and sparks
may pass from one flue '
opening into another and
unsatisfactory operation
may also result. Be sure
your chimney is in good
condition and that it has
a flue lining. You should
cheek for missing flue
tiles and cracked
masonry. YOu may want
to have a mason check
the chimney for you and
make any repairs that
may be needed.
If you have no suitable
, chimney, or if you prefer
to to close off your
fireplace, you can use a
factory-built chimney or ;
a metal smokestack. '
Make sure' that what you
' use ;has been approved
by Underwriters'
Laboratories (UL) or
another recognized
testing laboratory. A
factory-built chimney or
metal smokestack .should
rise three feet above any
roof ridge that is within
ten feet of the stack.
Once you have a safe
installation, there are
some other things to
remember about safe
operation.
Don't start fires with
flammable liquids. You
jean kill or injure yourself
with such a dangerous
'practice even if your
stove, pipes and chimney
are hazard-free. Even i(
