Spring 2017 is set for a cold snap<\/h3>\n
\n\t

It's Spring. The daffodils are\u00a0blooming and stove owners everywhere are\u00a0spring cleaning their stoves\u00a0as they\u00a0shouldn't be used as much now.<\/p>\n

However, we are set for a cold snap in the next few weeks and well into May! So get your stove ready for firing up again!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heavy and Wintery Showers ahead<\/h3>\n
\n\t

According to the Met Office, we\u00a0can expect heavy and wintry showers from next week. Temperatures will also plummet and remain low for a few weeks. Temperatures will be approximately between 2 and 5 degrees lower than normal for this time of year and there will be widespread night-time frost. Not ideal for spring time and especially as the weather has been so mild the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Top tops: Be ready for the cold snap<\/h3>\n
\n\t
    \n
  1. Ensure you have enough firewood<\/strong>. Many stove owners start collecting and seasoning their\u00a0firewood from early spring. But don't forget you need some firewood already seasoned. If you want to know how to season your firewood, then head over to our great blog post for top tips on seasoning firewood<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Make sure\u00a0your stove is still in top condition<\/strong>. We previously blogged about spring cleaning your stove<\/a>. If you have already done this,\u00a0then you will know that your stove is in tip-top condition. However, if you haven't, then you need to give your stove a quick visual\u00a0inspection.\u00a0And if you need spare parts<\/a>, then get the ordered asap.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Check your flue and chimney.<\/strong> If you haven't had it swept yet,\u00a0give it a quick check and get your stove fired up as a test. Last thing you need is a blockage when the cold snap hits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
