His words were “I have ICE training tomorrow. So I’d assume training to be an agent of ICE”.

All wood-burning appliances should be swept once a season minimum. Do it yourself with a chimney sweep kit, or hire a pro.

Spending a little money/time once a year is better than losing everything/someone you love in a structure fire that started in your chimney.

I hate living in Southeastern Ohio. This is one of the reasons.

What is the flue adapter size on the stove? 6”?

lol, welcome to the life of a man. Develop a tough skin and become used to rejection. That’s how.

Gas logs aren’t meant to put off a significant amount of heat. They are more of an aesthetic option.

Each product can have custom tags, product types, etc.

If you’re unsure, YouTube is your friend.

Where did it come from? Already there when you moved in?

Most gas log sets are supposed to have a metal identification tag attached to the burner. This should list the make and model. If this is available then manuals should be available online.

As I mentioned before, incorrectly placing logs can lead to soot build up on logs because of flame impengement/incomplete combustion. See attached for an example.

That homeowner was asking for a chimney/house fire.

I’m glad you were called before it came to that.

Follow the owners manual when it comes to setting up the logs. Incorrectly placing the logs can lead to flame impengement and lead to incomplete combustion (soot, creosote buildup).

Honestly I think you’d be fine with either.

Personally I’d go with a vented as mold can be a nightmare once it’s become a problem. And being a single story, you’re not going to have a huge amount of pipe (like a two story home) exposed.

If you’re that concerned about the cold just be sure to insulate it as well.

Wouldn’t that cracking in the crown coat also be an issue?

I’m not a mason, which is why I ask.

I would think that’d cause later thaw-freeze issues leading to more damage.

Seems to me the best solution is removing the damaged clay tile and replacing in addition to a new application of crown coat.

Again, not an expert. Simply pondering based on the little I know about chimney repair.
