What a difference it has made!
Last Wednesday, Smokey’s Stoves in Grants Pass, came to the house to clean the chimney, and the fire, in our lounge.
I had not realised how much soot and ‘muck’ had accumulated.
According to one of two gentlemen that came, the top of the metal chimney where is exits the roof was so clogged up there was only a small space, about an inch in diameter, left. There was over a huge bucketful of ash taken from the fireplace.
In the afternoon we lit a fire and basked in the heat, and the brilliance of a clean fireplace.
oooo
Well done, Smokey’s Stoves.

Oh gosh, Paul, be careful. We have heated with wood for decades. Chimney fires are no joke. If you’re using this much at all, you really should have this done once a year. Not to tell you what to do, but we’ve seen some pretty horrific chimney fires. 🙏♥️

Bela, you have hit the nail right on its head. Smokey’s Stoves cleared it all out, eventually, and we have now put ourselves on their cleaning list, and they recommended a cleaning once a year.
