I look down my chimney everytime I get on the roof and it’s always pretty much spotless. Nothing that could be brushed off, just a oily looking film on the brick. I’ve lived here 4 years and have burned a good bit of wood and have never cleaned the chimney. I assumed it had been cleaned before I bought the place since it was so clean then, but it looks the same now. I burn mostly junky wood I don’t want to sell. I put green logs in a night too a lot. My house had a junky vestal insert in it until I got an earth stove my dad pulled out n favor of gas a couple years ago. So I don’t think it’s the insert.
What is it about some chimneys that make them more or less dirty? I used to have brushes and I’ve seen some bad stuff.
