I have never had a chimney fire but then I have burned very little wood. I have been to many chimney fires as a firefighter for thirty-five years though. What we always told the people is that they need to have a "friendly" chimney fire every day. If you do like Traditional Farmer said and burn it hard for a few minutes everyday, first thing in the AM is best, The fire will carry up into the chimney and ignite whatever little bit of creosote you may have formed on the previous day. The friendly fire will clean it out good, and it won't burn hot enough or long enough to cause any problem, and you will have cleaned it every day. Many, many times people told us that they had had it cleaned just a few weeks ago.
