I just went down to check the fire, I can't say I had a chimney fire but it was glowing through a small crack where the stove pipe goes into the flue. Closed all of the air off, now its not glowing. There was no fire in the actual stack.
I just ran the brush through it a few days ago, I'm thinking some creasote must have fell into the end of the stovepipe. The chimney itself is pretty clean, as chimneys go. I did get out more creasote than I'd have liked to.
So now what? Call off work, let the fire go out, and clean the stovepipe? I'd hate to miss work, but I want a house when I get home. I could plug in space heaters and deal with it tomorrow if I absolutely had to, but I'm kinda nervous even leaving right now.
