log burning - economical?

I managed to start a chimney fire three times in in-laws house one winter.

I'm very good at stopping them.

Water on fire, followed by sheet of wood held over fireplace.

Repeat till the roaring stops...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like:

The last chimney fire I had I did just that, after seeing the 'Chimsafe' device on telly, which just belts a squirt of water into the bottom of the throat. I realised then a similar approach could be taken to putting out chimney fires in a cruder fashion, ie, a bowl of water. Mind you, a fibreglass crash helmet takes some putting out...
