			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays there is a special way to grill foods to add a unique aroma and flavor to grilled foods. This is a cedar plank cooking. You just sit the food on a thin plank of cedar wood. As it heats up on your grill it releases aromatic smoke that envelopes and permeates the food.</p>
<p>So you can see that it works similar to using smoking woods while grilling. However, cedar plank cooking seems to impart an even stronger cedar smoke aroma and flavor to the food. The traditional dish for this type of grill cooking is cedar plank salmon. The rich flavor of a good salmon steak or filet is beautifully combined with the smokey aroma of the cedar.</p>
<h2>Cedar Plank Cooking Tips</h2>
<div id="attachment_281" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 152px"><img class="size-full wp-image-281" title="cedar_plank" src="http://woodburnfireplace.com/wp-content/uploads/cedar_plank.jpg" alt="Cedar Planks" width="142" height="146" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cedar Planks</p></div>
<p>Here are some tips that can be helpful for everyone who wants to experience cedar plank cooking.</p>
<ul>
<li> Cedar plank cooking is quite easy. First of all, you should soak the planks in tap water. It is usually recommended first rinsing (to get rid of any dust or debris) and then soaking for at least an hour and up to a day. You may need to weight the planks down with something like a soup can to keep it immersed. It&#8217;s very important to underline that this can help to prevent the wood from catching on fire on the grill. In addition, it helps wood to smoke nicely, releasing its aromatic oils.</li>
<li>If you wish to add other aromatic flavors to your food, you should soak the cedar planks in other watery liquids such as white wine, beer, or apple cider. Do not use very alcoholic liquids like straight bourbon or tequila. They can ignite quickly on an open fire. However, if you wish to use them, then the best way out is to dilute them with water or other liquids before soaking the wood.</li>
<li> You should keep in mind that before cooking, you should brush the cooking side ( the smoother side) of the plank with a bit of olive oil. This will help keep food from sticking. After that you should add the food directly onto the cedar plank. If you have large planks you can place several pieces on one plank. Besides you can combine foods. It is possible to place both meat and vegetables on the plank together.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There are many types of recipes that can be prepared on a wood plank. The cedar aroma can accent a number of different types of recipes.</li>
<li> You should check back occasionally to check the progress of cooking. If the edges of your plank catch fire, then use a water spray bottle to extinguish the flames. If this continues to be a problem, then either lower your flame or reposition the plank so that it is not over as much direct heat.</li>
<li>You can serve your cedar plank cooked foods right on the plank. Place the plank on a heat-proof serving tray and bring to the table. Don&#8217;t forget to use a spatula to gently lift the food from the plank to serve.</li>
<li> There are several kinds of food, that can be cooked on a cedar plank. Anyway, the perfect choice is fish with firmer flesh like tuna, shark and even large scallops. Softer, delicate fish can often stick and fall apart easily and their delicate flavor may be overpowered by the cedar smoke.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, you can grill vegetables on a cedar plank. If you are cooking other meats and you have room on your plank, <a href="http://woodburnfireplace.com/marble-fireplace-surround/" >surround</a> the meat with potatoes, onions, carrots or other veggies so they can cook right along with the rest of your meal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are thirteen steps that will help you clean up your chimney:</p>
<p>1. The first thing you need to do is to <strong>buy a set of brushes and chimney rods</strong> at your local hardware store.<br />
2. <strong>To protect your eyes don safety goggles</strong>, dust mask and change into old clothes – this work can happen to be dirty one.<br />
Then lay out a clean tarp in front of the fireplace and cover the fireplace opening.<br />
3. <strong>Open the fireplace’s damper.</strong> The fireplace’s damper is the metal door up inside the fireplace, located above the firebox. The fireplace’s damper has an important function, it  blocks air from entraining your house  when your <a href="http://woodburnfireplace.com/wood-burning-fireplace-chimney/" title="chimney"  target="_self">fireplace chimney</a> doesn’t work.</p>
<div id="attachment_135" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-135" title="clean-fireplace-chimney" src="http://woodburnfireplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/clean-fireplace-chimney.jpg" alt="How to clean fireplace chimney" width="200" height="188" /><p class="wp-caption-text">How to clean fireplace chimney</p></div>
<p>4. <strong>Climb up on your roof.</strong> Be careful, climbing up on the roof is not a picnic.<br />
Don’t forget to take brushes and rods with you!<br />
5. <strong>The next step is to remove chimney cap</strong>.<br />
Chimney cap, or spark arrestor in other words, is an essential part of fireplace chimneys. It keep out rain, debris, small animals and keep sparks from escaping your chimney.<br />
Don’t forget to check its condition.<br />
6. <strong>Read the guide</strong> provided by the manufacturer of equipment and according to the guide assemble the chimney brushes and rods.<br />
7. <strong>Use the brush moving it up and down</strong>.<br />
Note that there are brushes that are designed to twist as well.<br />
8. <strong>Return to your house and clean the flue using a short brush.</strong> The flue is the pipe that runs between the chimney and the fireplace.<br />
9. <strong>The cold ashes must be removed from the damper and the fireplace. </strong>A vacuum cleaner or small broom will do for that task.<br />
10. <strong>Use dry scrub brush</strong> to brush the floor and walls.<br />
11. By means of brush <strong>clean the creosote</strong> built up, which is behind the damper.<br />
12. <strong>Vacuum</strong> up all of the dust and debris.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why are wood stoves becoming more and more popular? The answer is simple and yet convincing: heating a large area, wood stoves do not affect your bill. However you are likely to pay less money for electricity or gas if you have a wood stove.<br />
Doubtlessly, money is not our sole concern. What we really consider the most important thing are children. That is why there is a necessity in knowing certain rules when you indent to install a wood stove in a house with children.</p>
<p>Here are main tips how to guarantee the security of your beloved children:</p>
<p>1. A fence around your wood stove is definitely the first thing you should think over. Buy and install it around your wood stove so that you children could not come to it too close. It is wrong to thing that children are afraid of fire and feel instinctively the necessity to be careful with it. The truth is quite the opposite, small children are usually enchanted by fire and want to touch it. Parental ‘no’ is not very effective instrument sometimes, so you will have to take more serious steps such as installing a fence. The fence is to be placed in a proper distance from the wood stove. It must be of sufficient height and be built in the manner which prevent children from climbing it (fine mesh or vertical rail).</p>
<div id="attachment_128" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-128" title="fireplace-children-safety" src="http://woodburnfireplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/fireplace-children-safety.jpg" alt="Chidren's Safety with Fireplace" width="200" height="169" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Chidren&#39;s Safety with Fireplace</p></div>
<p>2. Tossing thing over the fence in your stove is one of the most favorite occupations of small children. A plastic toy is unlikely to damage your stove, but when melted it releases toxic fumes. Heavier things thrown in your wood stove can break its fragile parts.  To avoid unpleasant consequences you should supervise your kids all the time.</p>
<p>3. As it has already been mentioned children feel nothing but awe when they watch fire burning. It is up to parents to teach their children how dangerous fire can be and why they are not allowed to play with it. You shouldn’t overdo by suggesting your child that fire is a hungry monster, that won’t do any good for them. However hazards of heating and cooking devices should be treated seriously by both children and parents.</p>
<p>4. Stove chores can be much easier if your older children help you. You can ask your children to sweep up the area around the stove, to bring pallets or firewood or to look after younger children while you are busy with the stove. More complicated tasks should be undertaken by grownups or teenagers.</p>
<p>5. Wood stoves are inevitable to release pollutant into indoor air. There are children who suffer from asthma or have allergy to smoke. That is why certain precautious measure should be taken. Don’t let a child with allergy or asthma in the room when cleaning or filling ash pan. Regarding pollutants emitted you should buy wood stoves approved by EPA. The EPA approves only those stoves that release the minimal level of pollutants. When buying a stove ask a sales-attendant to demonstrate a model with the EPA sticker.</p>
<p>6. The ash pan can constitute a threat to your children if it is placed within their reach. The ash pan is likely to contain hot embers buried with ash; it won’t be of any good to your little one if the ash pan will be discovered, so keep it within the confines of the fence.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some companies provide fireplace installation when you’re buying their production. But if you want to install your fireplace yourself, this guide will help you.</p>
<p>First, you need to decide what kind of fireplace you want and can afford. There are several choices depending on different types of fuel, materials, price levels, design decisions and so  on.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the main disadvantages of having a fireplace is its inefficiency. The core purpose of the fireplace is to warm and indeed, it does warm your room when burning. But when you’re not using your fireplace there is a convention between inside and outer air which is extremely wasteful.</p>
<p>It happens because of a fireplace damper, which is created to block said convention, but usually don’t do the trick because it’s made of metal.</p>
<p>Thereby the device which is designed to heat the house is costing you hundreds of energy cost dollars.</p>
<p>There are several ways of increasing your fireplace efficiency – and reducing the energy costs caused by it.</p>
<div id="attachment_75" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-75" title="fireplace-efficienty" src="http://woodburnfireplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fireplace-efficienty.jpg" alt="Fireplace Efficienty" width="200" height="164" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fireplace Efficienty</p></div>
<p>For starters, you can replace fabricated <strong>damper</strong> with top sealed damper. It works as a barrier between conditioned air and outside air.  It works regardless of season, whether you’re cooling or heating your house.</p>
<p>There is also a matter of <strong>fireback</strong> which can be placed at the back of the fireplace in order to protect the back surface from fire damage. The fireback is good for fireplace efficiency because it absorbs the fire heat and radiates heat back into the house.</p>
<p>A <strong>fireplace heater</strong> is very efficient because it can pull air from your room, circulate it through and then blow the warmed air back.</p>
<p><strong>Draft eliminator</strong> is a draft stopper which is cheaper and tighter than a throat damper. This device is used to reduce heat loss when you’re  not using your fireplace.</p>
<p><strong>Fireplace efficiency</strong> can be achieved by investing into the fireplace glass doors. Glass doors provide safety and economy of energy by reducing the space your furnace need to heat.</p>
<p>These additions to your fireplace will, of course, cost you money. But in the end they will save hundreds of dollars every year and make you fireplace far more economically and practically efficient than it was before modernization.</p>
