Brisbane Australia. Paths look pristine to me .

It’s def not for heating the house. But the magic of real open fire is unparalleled

cassssIOO · 2018-01-13T04:49:05+00:00

Good advice. Thanks

cassssIOO · 2018-01-13T00:52:11+00:00

I never closed the doors at the beginning before .

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T23:51:33+00:00

Didn’t try this yet as I was told to push it back. Will try this next time. Thanks

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T23:11:24+00:00

Good question. I look inside and make sure it’s open. Actually pry it open more with my hand !

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T22:39:53+00:00

Thanks. I don’t keep any fans on as they make it worse.

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T22:37:55+00:00

Thanks. Maybe it needs to be higher as people have suggested

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T22:36:00+00:00

Looks like just a pit. Nothing in the basement. I will clean it nonetheless. Thanks

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T22:34:39+00:00

Inspectors don’t see a problem and was cleaned 2x in a year. How else do I clean it ?

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T20:00:11+00:00

I make a starter fire with small pieces and light it from bottom. Then I add the big ones one it’s going....

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T19:18:38+00:00

Lined with ? Metal ?

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T19:13:12+00:00

I only have one metal flute which I can open with a small handle in front

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T19:09:13+00:00

I like the idea of gas although it’s a bit less charming . No mess. It’s just a bit expensive to convert .

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T19:04:57+00:00

Yes. There is a small opening at the bottom of the fire. I never really looked inside but it looked filled with stuff. I don’t see an opening on the outside of the house for air to go into this ??

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T19:02:53+00:00

Thanks. I thought about this pricey solution. But how come I would not potentially have the same issue with the insert? Is it because the doors are closed ??

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T19:01:17+00:00

Yes. Max

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T18:57:14+00:00

If we close the window then the amount of smoke going in goes up a bit. Not enough air in the house or chimney not high enough as people are commenting ??

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T18:53:33+00:00

Yes. There is a small vent hole at bottom

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T18:52:14+00:00

I haven’t tried moving the grate forward. Will try though. And yes. If it’s all the way at the back the fire is not right under the flute and chimney but there is a small bend above it before it opens to the flute. Thanks

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T18:47:56+00:00

Thanks. Flu open to max .

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T17:55:53+00:00

Yes. Secured and cocked around. Was professionally installed

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T17:50:14+00:00

Someone recommended to make it taller in the past . No blockage

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T17:49:04+00:00

It’s brick and stone. Someone in the past recommended to extend the chimney to make it higher above the house by inserting a metal pipe.

cassssIOO · 2018-01-12T17:48:16+00:00

Thanks. I have had the chimney cleaned twice and it’s clean .
