I just started a fire. Mix of small kindling, paper and a couple small splits. She was burning well with the door cracked about a 1/2 inch. I ran outside to grab some sage happened to look up at the chimney top and noticed some sparks coming out.
Now, I am pretty sure I don't have a chimney fire going on. No smoke, now heavy sparks. Just one or two every five minutes. I have her settled in and cruising now and have not seen any more sparks. I've only been burning for about 3 wks and have been burning hot clean fires. Last week I checked the upper 2-3 feet of the stack and didn't see any build up.
I am a little concerned about this. The sparks seem to fizzle out as soon as they hit the cap. Anyone have any thoughts about this?
