Just a friendly reminder to those of you that have wood stoves or fireplaces. Tis the time of year to get your chimney/stove pipe cleaned. Did mine yesterday, top cap was full of soot and got a good amount of soot out of the pipe. One of the biggest dangers of heating with wood. Sure is cozy on those cold winter nights though.

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Oct 14 2004, 10:41 AM) all the black soot that builds up is *unburned* carbon. if that ignites, it will swell up to 10 times the volume, closing off the top of the chimney! So THAT'S how they make those little crinkly snakes that expand out of a black pellet when ya light it! (which they outlawed in CA for some strange reason) |
