"The most important feature of resistance type meters with insulated pins is that they measure only at the depth pins have been driven and in a line between the non-insulated portion of the pins."

Reading the thread it shows the subtle hints that there may be problems with flue blockages and the damage wet wood can do. As easy as it sounds, it is worth checking the flue when you feel performance has dipped, the door is tarring up much quicker, etc.

 

The bloackage in one of the flue pipes was alarming as the chance of a fire must have increased dramatically!
