Get the most from your stove<\/h3>\n
\n\t

It's a New Year soon, and everyone is making New Year resolutions from losing weight to getting fit or saving more money. But for wood burning stove owners, you can make your own New Year resolutions by\u00a0using our simple tips. So look after your stove and your health and your purse!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tip 1: Christmas Tree Bases<\/h3>\n
\n\t

This sounds like an odd tip for the New Year. However, as Christmas has just finished, now it the time to source some free\u00a0firewood for the New Year and save some money.<\/p>\n

People will soon be taking down their trees and if they have had a real Christmas tree, then they may have used\u00a0a small, round, pre-cut wooden base to stand their tree in. These bases are ideal for firewood. So get foraging and get yourself some free firewood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the New Year, make sure your firewood is stored correctly. Firstly, ensure they are protected from the elements and stored off the ground. If you don't, then they are susceptible to moisture, mold and insects. Therefore they will not season correctly.<\/p>\n

Secondly, firewood should be stacked correctly. This allows air to circulate and season the firewood. At Bowland\u00a0Firewood<\/a>, we have some great deals on\u00a0seasoned hardwood and we also have some great log stores and coal bunkers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tip 3: Only burn Seasoned and Quality Firewood<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Burning good quality firewood will be more efficient and help you get the most from your fuel.<\/p>\n

So the top 5 tips are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don't burn wet firewood<\/li>\n
  2. Only burn untreated wood<\/li>\n
  3. Bring your firewood indoors<\/li>\n
  4. Use different types of firewood<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\t

    A great tip is to plan out your\u00a0maintenance and tasks for the New Year. Plan regular maintenance checks throughout the year, not just for the stove itself, but also to get your chimney swept and\u00a0flue checked. Set a regular day and time to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Weekly checks are essential.<\/p>\n

    Invest in a Moisture Meter<\/a> to ensure your firewood is well seasoned and create a plan of rotating your firewood to ensure you only use well seasoned logs. Know\u00a0the make and model of your stove and ensure you know where to get spare parts<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Tip 5: Enjoy your Stove<\/h3>\n
    \n\t

    Our most important\u00a0tip for the New Year is to enjoy your stove, especially with your friends and family.<\/p>\n

    When you install a stove, it becomes a lifestyle choice and your should embrace it. From foraging for firewood<\/a> to making sure your stove is efficient, there are lots of\u00a0tasks to perform and therefore you should make it fun.<\/p>\n

    It may be you decide to\u00a0invest it a new store in the New Year, maybe installing a stove in another room in your room or replacing an older stove. At Bowland Stoves, we can help you with not only purchasing a new or replacement stove, but also maintaining an existing stove.<\/p>\n
