I froze a bit a few days ago, but I'm done for the year. Just not building a fire mid April. Here are some pics of the chimney for the year. I think I cleaned it in November, or maybe December and got a bit of stuff out, but this is the final product. Have to say I'm quite pleased. My wood was not the best but following all the info on this site made me a better burner than I thought. Here are some before and after shots. I literally only got about a handful of flakes out of the chimney. So a big thanks to everyone. Looking forward to insulating the house a bit more and having another fun year burning next winter-which hopefully will be a bit less frigid ![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
Ended up using about 4.5 cords of wood I believe. Mixture of oak, ash, cherry, maple and whatever else was laying around....some pine as well. Hoping to use less next year, but I'll be ready if I need it. Probably paid for itself already this winter.
Oh and Happy Easter everyone
