Hello all I had a fire this morning it was just at the coating stage and I was going to let it go out as we were leaving. I open the door and it sounded like something was falling down the liner. Like snow ice but I don't see how that could happen. I went for a minute or two the stoped but if I closed the door and opened it again the same thing would happen. I freaked out and thought a flue fire but didn't ran outside and didn't see anything.
Weird noise when i open the door scratches or crackling

Is that dangerous at the time my flue temp was around 250. I started freaking out think I was having a chimney fire

Before I had to leave the house I put on some welding gloves and pull a few bricks out to see the flue. There was probably 2 cups of creosote flakes at the bottom so definitely time to clean but did I have a chimney fire? Nit a good picture it was hot and couldn't reach in any more
Take both hands, when the pipe is cool, and smack the pipe one hand on either side like you're clapping and see what falls. I doubt you had a chimney fire but I'd say you need to sweep.
Here's a better picture after I removed a brick. I'm just concerned if I had a chimney fire and if it's OK to keep burning after I clean it
