Where it gets cold
Yeah,
The chimney use to service an oil burner.....
It was new pipe installed about five years ago....(ditched and old chimney and
installed the Classa A pipe............ It was a little sooty inside..
ran the 6" brush up it...... a bunch of time...... probably got about 3/4 of a 5 gallon pail of soot
out of the chimney........ it is not crystal clean.........

Should I be concerned if there is a little petro soot..... in the Chim.....
Thanks!
