IMPORTANT
When burning wood, use SOLID

driftwood, woods dipped in tar,
Christmas tree greens, pitch, pine
tar, creosote, chemical chimney
cleaners, fl ame colorants, poly-
styrene packaging, wood prod-
ucts with synthetic binders (i.e.
plywood). Plywood, lumber and
other misc. materials can produce
abnormally high temperatures,
sputtering and smoking fi res and
may contain hazardous chemicals
to treat insects and fungus.
• Burning unapproved fuels can
produce excessive temperatures,
beyond the design capabilities
of the fi replace and may produce
excess sparks or may contain
hazardous chemicals. Burning
unapproved fuels can result in
a chimney fire, a house fire,
personal injury, death or loss of
property.
