Need some advice about chimney cleaning. We moved into our house a year ago and had the chimney cleaned last fall before getting our woodstove installed [Jotul Castine]. We burned through the winter, using about five cords of wood we inherited with the house. Two of those cords were pretty well seasoned, the other three not so much.
My question to you: Do I need to get my chimney cleaned again this summer?
I assumed this would be something that should be done annually, but reading some other threads it looks like that's no necessarily the case. If I can save a couple of hundred bucks this year, I'd sure love to.
What is the general rule of thumb for cleaning the chimney?
