Anyone ever used one of those fire imps? I think its saltpetre in a packet that you light and it is supposed to clean the chimney? I used one years ago when I couldnt afford a sweep and landlord didnt bother to get it swept - having said that I didnt have the chimney swept ever in the 8 years I lived there....... What?? It was FINE!!
