I guess that only means that it's time to get your chimney inspected and thoroughly assessed for the pupores of safety hazards. Thanks for sharing that, Ronda!

When we burned coal it burned so hot the chimney always stayed clean.

We had to burn wet wood the first winter we lived in Idaho, and it was scary, because we knew the dangers of the buildup of creosote. I hope you can find more dry wood to burn, as it makes all the difference. I also find that wet wood burning makes my head/sinuses hurt. And, winter is close to being over too, so hopefully you can find some dry wood to last until then. Do you cut your own wood? You have so many challenges living by yourself, I will be keeping you in my daily prayers! Love and hugs to you today!

I remember them throwing pans of water on the wall surrounding the chimney to cool the wall down...and we had to stand by the door to the outside. That is when my father took the old wood stove out of the living room and put a furnace in with a grate from downstairs..and it hooked up to a different chimney because the old one had failed.<br /><br />I am glad you and your daughter are safe and sound.
