Some fires have occurred because the incorrect equipment was installed. • Fires can be started by heat radiating from the appliance or smokepipe. The same can happen if the smokepipe is not properly insulated where it passes through a ceiling or wall. • The smokepipe should also be inspected at the start of each season, and several times throughout the year. The main danger — creosote build-up — can be detected by tapping the pipe. A clean pipe will produce a metallic "ting", while one with creosote build-up will emit a dull thud. If the pipe is dirty, disassemble it and clean it with a Tong -handled, wire hrush.
