1st Time Fireplace User?




B 4


This is my 1st home and I decided to use the fireplace, and i was wondering if I should be concerned with a bit of smoky-smell in the are of the fireplace which is a 28' x 16' living room.

Let me qualify that by saying I bought 2 types of logs. The standard wood logs and the 2 hour types.

When I burn the 2 hour logs, I didn't smell anything in the living, room, but when I topped it with a stand wood log, I got a bit of smoky smell in the room. The smell is not over powering and well lit, and I didn't see any smoke in the room, but the smoke smell was present.

Yes the flue was open (about 3 notches out of 6, half open).

Im just wondering should I be concerned with noxious fumes and carbon monoxide poison, or is it typical that there will be a little bit of a smoky smell when using the fireplace?

Again, this is my 1st home and 1st time every using a fireplace. I've been camping and used to the smell, but outdoors! Not in my house! Lol..

Thanks in advanced!



Answer
Using a fireplace for the first time doesn't have to be difficult especially with a little preparation and some logical steps, you will be well on your way to enjoying a toasty fire in your hearth. Safety precautions and issues must be met beforehand to ensure safe operation of your fireplace. The kindling you use must be perfectly dry and combustible such as dry twigs and sticks to ensure a glowing warm fire.

Answer
Have a candlelight dinner. Light pretty citranella candles on the table lol. You can make full course meals on the campfire such as steaks, rice (I love the ones in the packages you just put into boiling water while it's in the pack for camping), and grilled veggies. Then you can listen to some slow jams under the stars in front of the fireplace. You could also lay a sheet down on the ground in front of the fireplace if the camp site is not too close to others and a bit away from the main street. ;)
