• Cleanliness is Key: Wipe spills immediately and regularly clean burner caps and heads with warm soapy water to remove debris that blocks gas flow.
• Check Flame Color: Aim for blue flames; yellow flames signal issues like poor air mix or dirt.
• Inspect Parts: Look for clogged ports, loose connections, or signs of rust/corrosion.
• Ensure Airflow: Proper ventilation helps combustion; don’t block stove vents.
• Gas Supply: Turn the valve slowly (about 3/4 turn) and check for strong flow; a hissing sound might mean a leak (use soapy water to check hose for bubbles).
• Professional Servicing: Get annual checks for internal parts and leak tests. 

• Use Dry Wood: Burn hardwoods with moisture below 20% (look for ‘Ready to Burn’ certified logs) for better heat and less creosote.
• Keep Chimney Clean: Prevent creosote buildup, a fire hazard, with regular cleaning.
• Control Airflow: Too little air smothers the fire; too much wastes wood and burns too hot. Use air controls and a stove thermometer.
• Store Wood Properly: Use a log store to keep wood dry and ventilated. 

• Routine Checks: A quick spark test on igniters or checking burner cap alignment can solve many small issues.
• Safety First: Turn off gas and unplug electrics before deep cleaning. Call a pro for complex problems or strong gas smells.
