wood burning and chimney cleaning

Feb 19, 2012 1 Replies

How to remove the build-up of tarry / resinous material from wood from traditional brick chimney lining, ie not designed for wood burning - to avoid chimney fires taking hold. Especially as the fire is not lit continuously so presumably more resinous condensate build-up with repeatedly cold chimneys. Sweeps brushes would only work against soot deposits


By intentionally firing the chimney on a regular basis. There will likely be a byelaw forbidding this.
