@mawr Oh, hey, do you know what to check in a fireplace when lighting fires in them? We'd like to use ours but I haven't had a lit fireplace at home in twenty-five years.

... also, @adeptomega​, it occurs to me you might know as well.

@literorrery @adeptomega @mawr answering in consultation with Mawr cause they have their face full of s'more. #1 Making sure the chimney has been swept/cleared and open is number #2 is making sure the flue is open, which should be done as part of cleaning the chimney. #3 is making sure that the interior of the fireplace isn't covered with paint that would be dangerous if it is near fire.

@mawr @adeptomega @kelseyhusky I like mawrs. And puppers! When could you come over and check out the Observatory fireplace? =n.n=

@literorrery @kelseyhusky @adeptomega I'm not 100% sure but I could probably find time this weekend ^^

@mawr @adeptomega @kelseyhusky @literorrery I would also very very much like to tend a fire in that fireplace, hopefully this winter. :-}
