Parchment Chimney

How I set up my stove for a fire, this is a lower center "main inlet " for air. Also size pieces i use. Against what old common practices preaches, large logs doesn't mean long burn times. The newer stoves like baseball to max softball diameter pieces to get best heat.

Spray foam is NOT a water proof solution!

Smoke detectors – homeowners should have a smoke detector on each level
of the home. There are two types of smoke detectors and the chimney professional
should be aware of each, as well as their strengths.
- Ionization - these detectors use a small electric current produced from a tiny
radioactive charge. When small particles of smoke enter the detector and they
interrupt the detectors charge resulting in the alarm sounding. The advantage to
this style of detector is that it responds to tiny particles of smoke and provides
early warning of a rapidly developing, hot, open flame fire.
- Photoelectric – this style detector works by using a small light and a photocell
which are located at a set angle to each other. When a smoke particle passes
thru, it interrupts the light beam and sets the detector’s alarm off, causing it to
sound. The advantage of this style detector is that it responds to visible smoke
particles alerting the homeowner to a smoldering fire.
