But unlike other vents/outlets in your home a chimney needs special attention and care. Most people don't think about the intricacies in keeping their chimney maintained but they should. It's not just about snuggling around the fire making, entertaining guests, or a backdrop for a romantic setting.

A chimney has to be taken care of properly so you can enjoy those moments in time whenever you decide to utilize your chimney. Not being mindful of the steps you need to take to keep your chimney in good working order, could result in you not being able to enjoy it for every long. Untidy and non-maintained fires decimate homes as well as injure/kill people. Possible recent chimney fire indicators include; a loud cracking noise, massive thick smoke, a strong hot odor. Chimney flames can be explosive and once they reach combustible parts of the home the results can be catastrophic.

There are two kinds free burning and slow burning either once can cause major damage to your home or take someone's life. There are ways to prevent a chimney fire before it even starts. Burn only seasoned or dried out wood. Wood that is completely dry will make a hollow sound when you strike it against another piece of wood. Start fires with clean newspaper or dry kindling. You must NEVER use gasoline or kerosene to start a fire. Do not burn cardboard boxes, wrapping paper, or a Christmas tree. Select big logs to burn rather than smaller logs if possible. And most importantly get regular chimney inspections/cleanings to remove excess creosote from the chimney walls for safe burning. Don't become complacent and figure the chimney can keep being used without any kind of attention or cleaning. A chimney is like having a car if not cared for properly it will break down.
