One of the best decisions we made during our build was adding a wood burning fireplace. We love the sound, smell, and cozy ambiance it brings. However, a wood burning fireplace does require some maintenance and the right tools. That’s why we’re partnering with Plow and Hearth to share our must-haves for fireplace care: - **Wood Storage**: Proper storage, whether indoors or outdoors, keeps wood dry and ready to burn. - **Ash Removal**: From scoops and containers to our favorite vacuum, ash removal can get messy, but it’s essential! - **Fire Starters**: We use a gas starter, but these fat wood fire starters are perfect for those without one. - **Tools**: From poking to prodding, having the right tools helps keep your fire roaring. - **Color-Changing Cones**: These fun little cones add beautiful colors to your fire, each lasting about 10 minutes. - **Fireplace Screen**: A must-have for safety, keeping sparks from damaging your floors.
