Firelighters should be kept away from the close surroundings of a fire, in a cool and dry place. Many fire makers store them next to the fire on the hearth for convenience, however, this is a fire risk. We advise you to keep our firelighters in a metal tin and away from food.

Wood, coal, and peat should be stored in a dry place, with good ventilation so that any dampness can quickly be evaporated to leave dry fuel. The wetter the fuel the harder it will be to light.

For open fires, the chimney should provide enough air to help ’draw the fire’. However, for closed appliances like wood burners and stoves, there needs to be an adequate flow of air, to allow them to burn correctly. Ensure that the rooms which have fires in them are well-ventilated with fresh air. Sometimes a little draft from outside increases the performance of a fire and sometimes the wind direction moving over the chimney pot can aid airflow. However, fires are generally worse performing on windy days when the wind tends to blow down the chimney.

If you have double glazing or draught-proofing, you might want to consider fitting an air duct to allow fresh air to enter your room.

To prevent harmful gasses from being produced by your fire, enough oxygen must be supplied to burn your fuels completely. To do this:

• Ensure all chimneys are cleaned regularly and are kept clear of any obstructions.

• Make sure stoves and appliances are professionally installed and that the doors are sealed properly.

• Never block vents or air bricks.
