More living dangerously

These two are right across the street from each other.

Thats wild! How in the world do those not plug up with creosote in short order? Look at both of the chimney caps, they look clean like they don’t get used much.

 

[Dieselhead]

probably not used for wood is my guess

 

[gthomas785]

They are most likely burning gas. Or they could have an unbaffled stove that keeps the pipe nice and hot

That's just another day around here, most go out a living room window of a mobile home with a piece of aluminum replacing the glass. They cut their wood the day they need it.

According to reports this is what started as a chimney fire in Torrington, CT last night

 

[Ctwoodtick]

That is sad to see. Looks like class a chimney. I wonder if it was clearances issue. Either way, that too bad

 

[Eman85]

That looks like a proper install, might have been operator error.

The chimney passes through the soffit. I have seen those spray foamed or just buried in insulation.
But the lack of a cap makes me think they were dealing with creosote problems so maybe a chunk just flew out and lit the roof on fire
