  It is crucial to maintain your chimney so that it will provide that good service safely and for many years.

Chimneys may be made of different materials, but one thing is certain, the need to keep the flue clean and functioning is mandatory.

When it comes to cleaning your chimney, the first question is usually this.   ---CONTINUED---

It's that time of the year to check your chimney, woodstove and your firewood.

I've had a fire going off and on for 2 weeks now but before I did, I cleaned my flue, cleaned the woodstove (inside) and checked the moisture content of my firewood, (20%) moisture.

And don't forget to check (test) your fire alarms and CO2 detectors (batteries).
