If making a fire in the fireplace is a common winter occurrence at your house, make sure you store your firewood a safe distance from your house. If possible, 30 feet is recommended in order to lessen the fire load on your home. Also, keeping stacks of kindling away from your abode will lessen the chances that termites find a cozy nesting place in your deck or any other woodwork. We’re all about keeping you smart and safe, so even if you have to trek a few extra steps in the cold for a new log, it’s worth it.
