    Hey out there fellow hoarders! Hope your stoves are full and homes are cozy! Question for y'all. How many of you take the mesh screens off your spark arrestors due to creosote built up on the screen? Thanks in advance for your replies!

    My house screen was removed by me and I ordered the shop chimney cap without one. No screen means no clogged screens.
