That really is quite amazing. Even after all these years burning good wood you would still have thought some build up would occur as the fire damps down.

Ours is the same, we season and dry our wood so haven't cleaned it in 10 years. Can't beat 96 though.

That`s impressive!

 

I had a chimney fire on Good Friday, at first I thought the noise was a jet coming in to land @ RAF Lossiemouth!

Makes a noise like you can't believe doesn't it! Fireworks coming out of the chimney top?

I had that last year. You could see where my house was from about 2 mile away

Dats da beauty o a closed in stove, strangle the air intake, for a controlled, by ear, "burn".

As experienced when burning perhaps slightly moist Birch, with lovely residual highly calorific sugary sap, , AND banking the stove up absolutley to refusal at night, and then strangling the draught, so as to burn overnight/leave embers for the morning re-kindle.

Most impressive hearing 10m of 200mm dia flue roar and belch sparks in the dark.

The 4 feet of stove pipe, directly above the stove, glowing dull cherry red was also most impressive:lol:

As witnessed on 3 or 4 occassions.

Good job the first floor is "T" beam and concrete block construction.
