Yesterday SM Himrod asked about chimney fires. I am starting to 'tune up' the oil burning furnace. I noticed smoke coming fron an old coal burning damper under the 12inch stovepipe, while back there, for the first time ever, I opened the clean out for the oil burner chimney,I always keep an eye on the wood burning chimney, never this one. Oh my. dirty. Ok, just clean it, fish it all out. and out and out. No end to this @#$%. So took off the stovepipe... a hole in the soot about the size of a pack of cigarettes... and solid. What a miserable rotten 6 hour job. 2 garbage cans full to the brim. Nothing uphill from the pipe, as I cleaned the wood one from the roof, I would always look down this one, always clean all the way down.... just not far enough down huh?

So don't neglect the oil - or even gas chimneys either, btw, the house was built in 1945, and I bet I am the first one to ever clean it......
