Use only seasoned hard wood. Seasoned hard wood is wood that has been dried out for an extended period of time (ideally 12-24 months). Green or wet wood contains too much water and will result in a cooler and smokier fire. Wet wood also causes the formation of creosote in your chimney, a fire hazard to your home. Never burn painted logs in your wood fireplace. Painted wood releases toxic fumes into your home.
The details of your warranty can be found in your owner’s manual. The warranty on all Masport fireboxes excluding attachments is for 10 years from date of purchase. There is a 1-year warranty on all internal fire parts.
This will depend on which fire you have. Please refer to the product installation specification sheet.
