What is the bigger risk in a flue going up from a stove than an open fire with a hearth going up? Can someone explain that? I am from an age that I remember going to my grandparents' home with open fires, seeing sparks coming up from a chimney and no fire. Now that there is a stove with a flue up and only sparks coming out at the very top, suddenly there is a greater risk.
