Safety first : The Chimney.....

Never leave a fire burning at night and clean the chimney every year here are some tips to use the fireplace in security and peace of mind, remember that a spark from the match that burned wood in the fireplace has in fact triggered the fire that would spread to other objects, and how to avoid such tragedies and, more generally, any type of accident caused by an open fire? The best advice is, without doubt, be cautious chimneys and fireplaces should be used carefully, especially if it old enough. In fact, the risk is always high because the fire burning produces sparks.And these are indeed many if you use wet wood to heat a room or a particularly rich in resin.
 
It is important then check by the fire, especially if you use an open fire (with no glass), there are fabrics, clothing, flammable material, wooden furniture near your chimney. Another rule you should not break is to make sure that the fire is extinguished before going to sleep at night.
If you still want to keep the heat for a long time when you go to bed, you can use special BKB. Again, however, it is better to check the quality lignite should not be pressed with chemical binders with otherwise you risk burning the production of harmful gases.
 
Another aspect relates to the chimney, which must always be in good repair. It should be checked at least once a year and the inner walls of the chimney should be cleaned and freed from the soot that is formed. Using the fireplace soot can ignite it, causing considerable damage. First, the red-hot heat of the inner surface and can create cracks in the walls of the chimney and walls in the neighborhood, with the risk of spread the fire to the furniture and ceiling beams.During and after the fire in the fireplace of the chimney falling bricks and pieces of glowing embers, which can leak onto the floor and ignite the carpet or other objects.
 
Outside the sparks coming out of the chimney might fall on combustible materials to ignite the roof.
Even though fireplaces without flue can be hidden dangers. In this case the main problem is to ensure proper ventilation. Oxygen burning, in fact, this type of fireplace use fuels that are particularly flammable and this aspect is often underestimated. and always remember...to eliminate any risk better then changing the air every two hours or you can create an air intake is always open.
