place.

sides and bottom are made from a combination of materials
including refractory cement and water. Large roaring fires
built on 'uncured" refractory could generate steam within
the refractory and cause cracks.

up to a point where they hinder the air flow.

Creosote-
Formation and Need for Removal.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine
with
expelled moisture l o
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the rela-
tively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As
a result.
creosote residue accumulales on
the flue lining.
When
ignited this creosote makes
it
an extremely hot lire.
The chimney shoufd be inspected at least twice
a year
during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup
has occured.
Never close the damper until
you are certain that there are
no warm embers.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fining
lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible lloor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed ol by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in
the dosed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
