Firestarters in a wood burning stove..

Is it safe to use a firestarter in a wood burning stove?:embarasse

If it is a good quality stove and properly installed, I don't see why not. It there a removable ash pan? Remember the stove and chimney need to be cleaned regulary no matter what you burn in it.

My husband uses them all the time in the wood stove in our garage.

I have an old wooden stove myself and I use the firestarters all the time.

My parents have a stove and a brick fireplace and they use the ones I make all the time in both. In a stove there is no concern about staining. In a fireplace if your concerned about staining then just place a log under the firestarter and build the fire from there.

If it is a 'catalytic' type.....absolutely not. And the newer 'non catalytic' technology I would say no to as well, they say "no petroleum products".

Yes, their is a ash pan.

How do I know if its "catalytic" type?

I know its cast iron, with a blower motor in the back.

And the actual cast iron pit, sits inside the protective metal casing thats around it. :embarasse
