If a fire has occurred, have your chimney thoroughly inspected by a certified professional before attempting to use it again. Methodical cleanings through the heating season combined with proper burning of fuel and systematic use of effective creosote and soot inhibitors, provides the best solution for trouble-free performance. Creosote is flammable and can easily fuel a chimney fire. Build-up of creosote and soot that accumulates on the chimney walls reduces the draft needed by the stove or fireplace which may cause smoke to come out the opening or door. Chimneys need periodic examination and thorough cleaning with a chimney brush to maintain efficiency and to reduce the chance of a chimney fire.
