Basically every single square was stopped up when I first pulled it down. A bunch broke loose jostling it around on the way down the ladder

Woodfire bros, check your shit so you don't burn your house down and/or die some kind of inhalation death

I stop this by burning my wood stove with the door wide open while absolutely stocked full of wood once a week. The solution to chimney fires is to have routine, controlled chimney fires.

According to my grandma the last person to sweep our chimney was her dad, so that dates it to the 1950s, so I just burn firelogs in here on cold nights to try to alleviate the load on the gas furnace because the baseboard heaters suck ass at doing their job

I am so very glad I'm capable of climbing on my roof and doing a basic bitch sweep of my chimney. I can burn whatever garbage I want and once a year I just deal with the soot myself for free.

I wanna make a inside chimmey unit for wood stove with lots of fins to exchange heat.

people say it will collect junk so it would be removable and once a year take it outside and pour some gas and lite it off to burn itself clean.

>baseboard heaters suck ass
sounds like something wrong with system, like clogged pipes etc.

I hear fireplace can instead mostly suck warm air out the chimmey, not heat house.

Collect heatsinks out of old electronics and attach them to your chimney

Thankfully I have not a real fireplace but a big cast iron thing that feeds into the old chimney so I don't think it drafts much cold air

There's this firestation YT channel and most of it is chimney fires in the homes of retards that don't do the mandatory annual cleaning. Of course they are never charged with anything. This way it continues and they can use it as an argument for banning fireplaces.

>charges
Right because your house burning down isn't punishment enough. You also need a fine that if unpaid will land you in jail if you can't pay because you lost everything. What made you like this? Mommy didn't love you? Daddy beat you daily? Are you an orphan raise by the cold bureaucratic hand of the government?
