Fire can be a dangerous element if not kept in check. Epically around the nice wood frame of your home. That is why the CSIA come up with so many safety measures to make sure everyone at home burns their wood properly and in the safest manner possible.

It takes a little longer to set it up but it definitely burns much better, much cleaner,” said Bob Fish, a CSIA instructor from Londonderry, Vermont.
