Knowing more about your chimney
Over time soot can build up on the wire mesh screen and also inside your chimney and this may hinder the flow of air from your fireplace to the outside, this kind of problem will result into smoke entering your home. Inside the chimney a substance called “creosote” may also form and it may adhere itself to the chimney walls. Creosote is made from the smoke that travels up your chimney, and too much of this substance will also lead to blockage of air flow inside the chimney, and also debris may build up inside and all it needs is enough oxygen and it may undergo spontaneous combustion and catch fire.
