How did your brother know that was the cause of the fire? How often did he have his chimney cleaned? Did he start his fire with a big wad of newspaper? Was his wood seasoned over a year? There can be a lot of causes of chimney fires. If you think your chimney flue is 600* in the middle of winter with a damped down fire, you are sadly mistaken.
I thought you said you never saw one on a wood stove but your brother had one?????
Like l said, you'll see a lot of people chime in with 'experiences' one way or the other even though they never used one.
