Welcome back to the finca!

With temperatures soaring above 40°C and outdoor restoration work on hold, we're making the most of the heatwave by getting ready for winter.

In this episode we service both of our wood-burning stoves, sweep the flues, replace a cracked stove glass and share a money-saving tip that could save you a small fortune when buying replacement fire glass.

We also explain why summer is actually the perfect time to carry out wood burner maintenance, before the colder weather arrives.

In this episode:
• Sweeping and cleaning both chimney flues
• Inspecting our wood-burning stoves
• Replacing a cracked stove glass
• Fitting new fire rope seal
• Restoring the stove door
• Tips for buying replacement stove glass at a much lower price
• Preparing our home for the coming winter

If you have a wood burner or are thinking of installing one, hopefully this video gives you the confidence to carry out some simple maintenance yourself and save money in the process.
