Wood Heater Safety Tips

Be careful when opening the heater door – Coals can fall out – Open the door slowly and limit what falls out to the shelf under the door.

You’d like to think it was obvious but the glass is hot, don’t touch that.

If a coal falls on the floor quickly pop it back on the hearth with whatever you can find (poker, your shoe, shovel or fire brush) so it doesn’t burn the floor.

Door Stays Shut unless adding more wood, never leave an open fire door unattended.
