[QUOTE="jburlingham, post: 1236122, member: 29323"] [b]Not to worry[/b] As a firefighter and Deputy fire Marshal, I have responded to hundreds of chimney fires over the past decade and a half. There rarely exists a safety issue unless your chimney is damaged or improperly installed. Not to down play safety, you should see your chimney cleaned at least once per year, but if your burning heavily every 6 months wouldn't hurt either. Just be sure to burn hot and you'll reduce the accumulation of creosote. It's typically wet wood and smoldering fires that cause the build up. If the fire dept came out then you chimney is clean enough for another 6 months :) [/QUOTE]
