How is wood stove service different from a fireplace sweep?
A stove has a sealed firebox, baffle, secondary burn tubes, and often a catalytic combustor — none of which are in a fireplace. We disassemble those parts, clean each one, and put it back together to manufacturer spec. Fireplace sweep is mostly the flue. Stove service is the stove plus the flue.
How do I know if the door gasket is bad?
Old test: close a dollar bill in the door and try to pull it out. If it slides, the gasket is shot. Visual signs: glass blackens fast, fire is hard to control, secondary burn never engages, wood burns through faster than it used to. Gaskets are a $30 part and a 30-minute job — they are the highest-leverage stove maintenance you can do.
