Looks pretty (pretty dangerous!)

Logs stacked around a stove might look nice but it’s an accident waiting to happen.

Looks pretty but could be deadly. Logs stacked around a stove might look nice but it’s an accident waiting to happen. As professional sweeps we see this sort of thing too often. Never stack logs or place clothes driers too close to your stove. Also, don’t hang anything combustible above your stove it it’s possible it could fall down on it. You don’t want to end up with the wrong sort of fire in your living room!
