The chimney and chimney cap must be in-
spected for soot and creosote every two
months during the burn season or more fre-
quently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft
(4.3m-4.8m) measured from bottom of appli-
ance.
This will prevent pipe blockage, poor draft,
and chimney fires.
Always burn dry wood to help prevent cap
blockage and creosote build-up.
