Been burning for about 5 weeks now, sometimes only at night, sometimes for the majority of the day. Overall I'm very pleased with how things look. Burning mostly pine(90% +), a little oak, cherry, and dogwood. So much for not being able to burn pine, believe me I have heard about that from friends and family. ;-)

The pics are all looking up the chimney from the bottom of the cleanout of the T on the outside of the house, veritical run from here is about 25 feet. The only build-up of any kind I see are some spots (small rust colored clumps) opposite the wall exit from the stove in the T. Other than that it is all very light soot.

Opinions welcome!!

Wall exit to the right (some of the steel is still visible!), build-up just visible to the left.

Very nice!

The Fireview is a great stove.

Thanks,

Looks pretty good Kenny. I haven't looked at our chimney for a long time now. The wife removes the bottom cap every so often, looks up and just puts the cap back on. No cleaning necessary. Nice!
 
wow, looks great! looks better than mine after I sweep it!

Kenny it looks great, end of december I'll be cleaning ours and could only hope it would be that clean.

That's a spectacular testament to the Fireview's ability to burn very cleanly.
