• Light a test fire and make sure the igniter is functioning properly.

• Check the gasket around the door with a dollar bill. Close the dollar bill in the stove door and if you can easily pull the dollar out, it’s time to change the door gasket on your stove.

• Be sure and check the firebricks for your Whitfield, Breckwell, Lennox, Blaze King, Buck,  Breckwell, Traditions or Earth Stove.  Pellet Stove and wood stove firebacks or refractory bricks should be replaced every few years to ensure proper operation of your heating stove.
