Wood Stove Tips
County Extension Agent
Heating fuel costs con
tinue to rise, and that is
causing more and more fam
ilies to install wood burning
stoves. Which is all well and
good IF you install the
stove properly.
But unfortunately, im
proper installation and mis
use of these heaters are
contributing to a growing
number of home fires, inju
ries and deaths all across
the nation.
Many of these fires could
have been prevented by fol
lowing a few simple rules.
We hope you will keep the
following in mind if you have
a wood burning stove or are
thinking about buying one.
Put the stove on a fire
proof base.
Be sure to allow clear
ance between the stove and
any combustible material
such as the wall, ceiling, fur
niture, newspapers and
magazines.

ing on Thanksgiving Day, is
intended to improve the un
derstanding between farm
and city residents. This will
be the 26th annual obser
vance in Georgia, according
to state chairman J.W. Pou
of the Cooperative Extension
Service in Athens.
The theme this year is
“Farm and City Partners in
Progress.”
Local organizations and
agencies of the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture are co
operating in special events
all over Georgia, according
to Dwight M. Treadway,
who is the state Soil Conser
vation Service head in this
state.
“We are pleased to have a
role in this effort. It is tragic
that intelligent people in
each group sometimes fail to
understand that we are all
dependent on resources as

and flue meet safety re
quirements. If you are not
sure, consult a detailed
safety manual or a profes
sional in the heating field.
Look for stoves with the
Underwriters’ Laboratories
label or other evidence of
testing by recognized orga
nizations.
Make certain the stove
is made of sturdy, suitable
materials such as cast iron
or steel.
lf you purchase a used
stove, check it carefully for
cracks and other defects.
Pay special attention to legs,
hinges, grates and draft lou
vers.
Never use gasoline, ker
osene, or any other flamma
ble liquid to start a,fire.
Start the fire by using small
strips of paper and twigs.
Don’t use the stove as a
grabage can; burn only
wood paper in it.
Don’t leave a fire unat
tended, during the day or
anytime, and certainly not
overnight.

simple as soil and water,”
Treadway said.
Many factors make agri
culture important to
Georgia. It is the mainspr
ing of our economy. It pro
vides direct or indirect
employment for 60 percent
of our people. It provides
many of the exports which
pay for our imported oil. But
most of all, agriculture pr
vide provides the food we eat
every day.
“Despite rapid advances
in agricultural technology,
the soil loss on a typical acre
of Georgia cropland in 1977
was 6.58 tons. This simply
means that we are depleting
our soil resources,” Tread
way said.
Urban residents will share
with their rural neighbors
the consequences of re
source abuse. Conservation
of these resources is basic,to
the progress of both groups.
