Just wondering. It's cold out there. If my chimney were on fire, how would I know?

It roars very loud before it collapses (implodes) into the house.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

A sign of a chimney on fire is charred bricks above the fireplace grate.

Call your neighbor across the street and ask them to look out the window, or call the fire department and have them come check for you.

That dog is made for ground action. You need a taller dog to alert you to problems at higher altitudes.

Yeah, you definitely have a fire going... But by now you probably figured that out.

I wonder how many times a chimney catches on fire and burns its self out and people never even know it? I trimmed the tree branches back from the chimney hole so the tree would not catch on fire. Sometimes I slam the damper open and closed real hard and it bangs stuff down. Burning mesquite right now. Thanks for that Moto. Tomorrow I go hunting for wood. Got some located but am not sure how easy it's going to be getting out. Should be a fun day if I don't get the truck stuck.

Put one of your fancy home security cameras pointed at your chimney. Make your kids watch it.

Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

It's ok, I will be home all weekend and can stack it when you bring it by. I can wait. First beer is on me. If that does not work, i can possibly come help cut it up. I love using my chain saw.
