Ranch Home Heating Question

[bigealta]

i remember on an episode of "Alaska the last frontier" the guy used the same type of metal casing for his woodstove. It must have been 2 or 2 1/2 stories as it went right up thru the middle of his house. The whole thing was just 1 piece if i remember correctly.

Looks like you guys already discussed this this Alaska episode and show.

Thread 'Alaska's last frontier chimney fire'

Oct 15, 2017

Not sure if anyone watches the show, but the chimney on homestead home caught on fire. The old guy climb up 30-40 ft to top of the roof to shove snow to put out the fire due to creosote buildup. The wife doesn't want him to climb up the ladder no more. He decided to cut a roof access from the attic for putting out future chimney fire. These guys are usually ingenious, have many out of the box solutions to daily challenges. How about having the chimney cleaned once or more per year to rid of creosote? Am I missing something?
