Seeing a recent post I was surprised to see that the poster let his stove go stone cold before he cleaned his chimney. I have cleaned chimneys a lot (in the past) during the winter but have never let my stove go out. I did let the wood burn down to coals (so no smoke to contend with) before starting to clean but never could see why I should let the stove go cold.
How do you do it? Cold, warm or hot.
