chimney porn!!

I see no down side...

 

The chimney handles the upstairs stove and has a smaller flu for the downstairs stove. The upstairs stove is lined and someday the downstairs stove chimney will also get lined.

The upstairs stove runs full time for heat.

The basement stove runs part time. Depending on temp and family activities.

The dog was mid head shake during the photo. She loves the heat.

 

I hereby nominate the basement stove and dog for your cave......

Nice!

 

Beautiful!!

 

Cold enough to burn

 

So just what kind of wood is it that you burnt?

 

Well for this winter all I have below 20% mc is southern hackberry and sweet gum. Next winter hopefully some of the oak and hickory I have will be ready.

 

Here is my chimney and chimney cleaning system. Which reminds me, I haven't cleaned it yet this year, guess I better get up there.

 

Lumber-Jack, quite the system you have there!! I wish mine was that easy! And you have quite a view there.

 

What took so long?

 

Could you please let me know what you used here??

 

Thank you very much. It was recommend to me that I seal the masonry on my chimney. It is in excellent shape for it's age and I would like to keep it that way.

Awesome thread here by the way - I will post pictures of my chimneys soon.

 

SKEETER McCLUSKEY, so Im doing a bit of reading on your stuff here and my chimney expert said I can pressure wash my chimney and get some of this sealant stuff to water proof it. The website says to use a trowel for application but I wasn't sure about that. Is it thick as epoxy glue?

 

It's like water,brush roll or spray,make sure chimney is dry

 

Thanks!

 

Here we are.

Central single flue chimney is currently attached to my oil furnace but I had it lined with the appropriate liner for wood/coal/oil. When they run gas down my street someday, I'd like to get a high efficiency gas furnace and use this for a wood furnace. OR maybe even get one of those fancy gas/wood trim furnaces.

End chimney has basement fireplace all the way in the left, my new 1st floor burner in the middle, and a false on the right.

Not real happy with the flashing job that was done this summer.... it works for now but someday (oh one if those old some days......) I'd like it tucked properly in the mortar.

The cap on the false chimney isn't looking real good because it's stuck next to the other one. I may take it off and just lay a blank on there to keep the rain out.
