Inefficient or neglected stoves also provide unnecessary un-necessary energy waste, air pollution, pollu-tion, and the risk of burning your house down, a Utah State University Extension specialist said. Traditional fireplace and wood-burning wood-burning stove efficiency can range from minus 10 to plus 10 percent In contrast, newer more energy efficient effi-cient airtight stoves can range from 30 to 50 percent, said Stephen E. Poe, USU Extension energy specialist special-ist Poe said the wide range in efficiencies effi-ciencies are a result of differences in design, maintenance and operating operat-ing procedures. To maximize the least amount of fuel to produce the greatest amount of energy, and to avoid stove-related hazards, he said several factors should be considered including the type of wood burned and ways to avoid premature creosote buildup. For high efficiency, he said a stove must do two jobs well. First, fuel must burn as completely as possible so that little smoke and un-burncd un-burncd combustibles go out the chimney. Second, heat must be transferred from inside the stove to the room. "In order to accomplish these two things, the stove must be designed properly to insure complete combustion," com-bustion," he said. "The chimney must be properly sized to provide adequate draft. A sooty or dirty chimney will restrict draft and reduce re-duce combustion efficiency.' Seasoned wood - not wet wood - Overseas holiday mail expected to be impacted That's what the U.S. Postal Service is advising all Americans to do again this holiday season, especially with mail intended tor overseas. "With the military build-up in Saudi Arabia, we're expecting a big strain to be placed on our mail transportation transporta-tion system worldwide," reports Postmaster John Evan Jones. "With the massive mailing effort going on with Operation Desert Shield, transportation and processing process-ing capabilities will be extremely tight this holiday season," said Postmaster Jones. 'The Postal Service will be moving a tremendous tremen-dous volume of holiday mail overseas. over-seas. To ensure timely delivery, customers cus-tomers should send their cards, letter let-ter and packages for military and international in-ternational locations as early as possible." pos-sible."

Wet wood shrinks around 8 percent in volume during seasoning. "In general, the heaviest or more dense woods, when fully seasoned, have the greatest heating value," he said. "Lighter woods have the same healing value per pound as the denser hard woods." He said a cord, or 128 cubic feet, of dense wood such as hickory or white oak has the same heating value val-ue of about 125 gallons of fuel oil or 3,800 kilowatt hours of electricity. electrici-ty. In contrast, a cord of lighter wood such as white pine, fir or white cedar has the same heating value as 63 gallons of fuel oil or 1,900 kilowatt hours of electricity. When deciding what type of wood to burn, consider factors such as ease of splitting, ignition characteristics, character-istics, and smoking and sparking characteristics of the wood. "Softwoods in general burn rapidly rapid-ly and require more frequent attention," atten-tion," he said. "Hardwoods burn less vigorously, last longer and produce pro-duce more coals." Poe said that contrary to popular belief, burning softwoods such as pine and fir do not necessarily cause more creosote build-up than hardwoods. hard-woods. However, with softwoods it is often difficult to maintain flue temperatures hot enough to keep the creosote from condensing and depositing de-positing on flue surfaces. Creosote is formed from flue gases gas-es that escape from the fire and cool as heat is absorbed by the stove pipe and chimney system. If the temperature of the flue gases drop ( News from Triclell by Lorna McKee 247-2350 Tridell has new comers Gordon and Colleen Mortcnson and son, Terry, who have been living liv-ing in Lapoint have moved into the Clyde and Dorothy Young home.

To avoid creosote deposits, Poe said it is necessary to keep the fire burning brightly. A hot-burning fire keeps the flue temperature high enough to prevent the creosote from building up prematurely. A low or smoldering fire tends to deposit more creosote. To reduce creosote deposits: Open the air inlets to establish a hot fire quickly. Utilize a stove pipe thermometer thermome-ter to help monitor combustion temperature. tem-perature. Keep the stove operating at, or near capacity. Refill with wood when the firebox is two-thirds full. When sizing or buying a stove, plan on running the stove at capacity. Use hardwood or increase airflow air-flow with softwoods to keep the flue gases above 270 degrees. Start with a clean chimney. Open all air inlets in an airtight " stove for 15 to 30 minutes every day. The resulting hot fire will safely safe-ly remove the small amounts of creosote cre-osote formed in the chimney. Be careful not to overheat the c'n'mrcy. Poc said to inspect the c'lir.iney frequently. Anytime onc-cigluh to one-quarter inch of soot is found, the chimney should be cleaned. To clean a chimney, Poe said to use a stiff chimney brush sized for your chimney. Use pipes or ropes with weights to pull the chimney broom through longer chimneys.

Orrin Hatch's Nov. 16 women's conference at the Salt Lake City Salt Palace. "Erma Bombeck will bring a new dimension and a lot of fun to this year's conference," Hatch said. "I believe most women in Utah will relate to her experiences as she's been a real survivor of housework, motherhood, and an outstanding career." ca-reer." Bombeck will tell how the everyday every-day events in life have evolved into best selling books, proof of which is the fact that all nine of her books have been on the top 10 best selling lists. She will also talk on her latest book, "I Want to Grow Hair, I Want to Grow Up, I Want to Go to Boise," which is a serious narrative on children who have had cancer and beaten the odds. Hatch said this year's conference will also include discussions on nutrition, nu-trition, legal rights, surviving abuse, mental health, bringing up children, and writing for fun and profit 'The workshops sound great," Bombeck told Hatch. "I am intrigued in-trigued by the theme: 'Discovering the Diversity and Unity of Women. There ought to be enough material int his one day's conference for me to write another book!" Known for her "one liners," Bombeck is quoted as saying that a working mother is a woman "racing around the kitchen in a pair of bedroom bed-room slippers, trying to quick-thaw a chop under each armpit.."; "Housework, if you do it right, can kill you..."; and "Guilt is the gift that keeps on giving." Born in Dayton, Ohio, Bombeck; now resides with her husband. Bill, in Phoenix, Arizona, and her column col-umn is syndicated in over 800 newspapers. She holds 15 honorary doctorates, and since 1979 has been included in the World Almanac's "25 Most Influential American Women." 1 Icr hobby is dusL Vernal City SECRET WITNESS Program 789-8888 Pheasant Glen Apartments C TV 1-r ' 1 ' -.5 ti ;H3 ;Ko & 0 West 1V3 |
