Odor control . . . you can also use a box of opened baking soda.

I actually do place a candle in my woodstove after cleaning it . . . but it's not for the ambiance and chance to see the itty bitty flame . . . it's for those rare moments when I get a reverse stack condition and I can smell creosote in the house. Lighting a candle (no scent needed) establishes a bit of a draft and makes the house not smell like the inside of a chimney.


+1 I'm going to have to open a 'tips & tricks' file.

THanks for the good laugh... didn't think of that when i posted. I use it for odor like jake said and also for any moisture that may be present.
 
With relatively dry summers our stove just goes to sleep. I may shovel out the ashes and clean the glass. Or maybe not.
