3. Increase the Burn Efficiency

 

If you want the burn efficiency of your fireplace to be increased, you would have to keep it clean. When your fireplace and chimney are clean, it increases the burn. This is because of the maximum airflow capacity of the chimney. Better airflow means sufficient oxygen which leads to better burn efficiency.
