We normally share carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips on a Tuesday, so our post is in keeping with this and Chimney Fire Safety Week. Avoid slumbering your stove as this can increase levels of CO and the risk of a chimney fire!

Slumbering refers to the practice of intentionally dampening down the fire and reducing the air supply to make the fire burn slowly for an extended period, often overnight 🌃🔥
