#1 – Burn dry, seasoned wood.
This is an important one. Moisture is the natural enemy of a roaring fire and burning green wood can cause buildup of creosote. Be sure to season your wood for at least 6 months prior to burning. We recommend preparing your woodpile in the spring, so when the cold weather arrives, you'll have seasoned wood ready to go.

#3 – Maximize your heat.
Want an easy, cost-effective way to get more warmth from your hearth? Pair your wood stove with a stove fan to push warm air through the room. With no electricity needed, these heat-powered fans automatically start once your wood stove reaches a certain temperature. Just keep in mind that these fans are for freestanding stoves only and won't work on insert stoves or other types of fireplaces. Another thrifty tool to keep your stove burning efficiently is a bellows. It easily stokes your fire to life.
