After 6+ inches of snow since this morning, I just got out and took a look at the chimney. Dark icicles are hanging off the cap. I was just up there last weekend and while the cap was cruddy, the SS pipe only had a very thin black covering on the inside. How concerned should I be about these icicles? It sure isn't pretty.
Dark Icicles?

Taste em, if they are pepermint you are fine, if they taste like orange you are doing something wrong :lol: You are fine, just snow hitting the cap and melting. If you keep it warm enough it will never freeze over the cap. I call them smokecicles.
