    I am posting this info in hopes of helping new burners. There are many ways to clean your chimney but here is the general info. We clean ours once a season however you should regularly check and maintain your chimney. Anybody with tips or tricks or different methods put them up please !

    This is what can happen if you don't clean your chimney !

    Thanks for sharing, Pete. Note: it looks like the first video is no longer available.

    Always a nice reminder for safety's sake. Thanks for the post.

    On a side note, video #2 the chimney fire, it gave me the idea of the folks who used to set their chimney's on fire just to clean them. Whoever was taking that video didn't seem too alarmed.
