Hi Folks,
I'm wondering if I should be about some strange discoloration on my chimney. Today I noticed black discoloration toward the bottom of the exterior part of the chimney. I've seen a bit of discoloration from time to time near the cap, but have never noticed this before. Looks ominous. Might this have been a chimney fire?
If it's helpful, I have a Scan 60 stove and I burn very dry (kiln dried) wood. I have the chimney cleaned every year whether it needs it or not.
Thanks in advance!
