IREPLACE PERATION You’ll need a minimum of three logs, preferably four, to make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear grate after raking the coals toward the front. D .
Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Monessen Hearth Systems does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace.

AINTENANCE AND IREPLACE AINTENANCE At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
