"Individual Underwriters' Laboratory of On Sunday afternoon sounds of Bluegrass, Country ' and Western music rang out at the Orono Town Hall. The. monthly Orono Jamboree sponsored by the Town of Newcastle Social Services Department was proving as popular ds ever with the hall filled to capacity Warns of wood use in existing furnaces Don't add wood-burning units to your furnace, warns the director of the energy safety branch of the ministry of consumer and commercial relations. Herb Jones says these add-ons can be dangerous because furnaces aren't built or installed to handle the high temperatures generated by wood. "Already this year, the units have been associated with a number of deaths, according to the fire marshall's marshall's office." Wood-burning units require larger clearances from combustibles combustibles than gas, - oil œ electrical furnaces, he said "Some consumers have neglected neglected this and as a result walls, joists and other "combustible "combustible materials near the furnace and flue have caught fire." The add-ons are also not equipped with automatic shut-off controls which stop the injection of fuel once the maximum safe temperature has been.reached. "The heat in wood-burning units can be reduced only by closing the draft. This is less effective than the automatic control. And the consumer is required to keep a close watch over ^mperature levels, which is normally not possible." 1- areQREAT B U T E ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ we ALSO give you: * • Carefree -travel by luxurious motorcoach with' new sights to see daily • personal attention from our professional professional drivers and escorts e worry free accommodation in first class Hotels and Motels • freedom from the cares of luggage handling.

But the wood will keep burning without the blower spreading the heat. So unsafe heat levels may build up". Mr. Jones says consumers have been hooking up a wide variety of wood-bunting devices devices to their furnaces and the connecting ductwork. "Some people have been attaching their Franklin wood stoves. Although they're great for saving energy if properly installed, they're dangerous when used in this manner". The heat from the add-on may also damage mechanical or electrical parts in your furnace., In addition, the safety certification required for all furnaces becomes void if an add-on is installed. "And it's unlikely that an insurance policy would cover any damages damages resulting from the use of add-ons," said Mr. Jones. However, add-ons , aren't 1 wood-burning units and certified certified combination wood-oil units require careful installation installation and maintenance". Fires can be caused by a build-up of creosote, a tar-like deposit from condensed wood gases. "Avoid using green wood or allowing any other materials to burn slowly to minimize the build-up. When your individual or combination combination unit is first installed, check daily for creosote until you have determined how frequently it will have to be cleaned out," Mr, Jones advises. Chimneys designed for oil or gas may not be suitable for wood. Masonry chimneys should be carefully inspected inside and out to make sure ' they are in good shape and sized properly. Although factory-build chimneys which have been certified by the Canada may be adequate, Type B chimneys, generally used with gas furnaces, should not be used. Safe' clearances for wood- burning units are listed in the Ontario Building Code, available available from your local library. To make sure your unit has been safely installed, contact your local fire department.
