To say that you need to do a "daily burn off" insinuates that there is something in your pipe that NEEDS to be burned off. To phrase it like that, to me anyway, sounds like you're advocating small chimney fires on a daily basis. Like it's OK to neglect tending your fire, and building up creosote, as long as you start a fire in the pipe once a day to burn it off??????? My theory is to avoid ever having anything that needs "burning off". I have a 6" fully insulated stainless steel line in my existing chimney that helps to retain heat and keeps the flue hot. I use only seasoned wood below 20% moisture, most is below 15%. I also get my stove up to temp as fast as possible when I need to add more wood & try to keep it there as much as possible. I try to avoid having anything in my flue that needs to be burned off. Regardless, I shut down mid season to check it, and run my brush down anyway, and then clean it again at the end of the season. My home, and my family's lives are worth the time and effort to me to take a few minutes to make absolutely sure and give me peace of mind that there is no danger. I'm still not sure exactly what you mean by "burn off", but maybe it's the way you phrase it that's causing confusion.
