Golden Anemone,

May I suggest that you edit your post so when the spammer's posts are removed your post doesn't give their website.

Ok, hadn't thought of that. :-)

My house was built circa 1907 and I am wondering whether I need to pay for the liner or not. Do I need a chimney sweep or a camera up the chimney? TIA.

We were advised that once you have paid to have a survey and proper pressure test you may as well have had the liner installed. It also provides safety and efficiency and the best part it will be guarantee whereas no one will guarantee your old chimney!

I had a stove installed by HETAS Stove Installers, I filled out their online survey and went from there. Very easy.

There is a great deal more to chimney liners than this. Anyone thinking of having a stove fitted should read previous posts here very carefully. And then research the subject from relable, unboiased, sources, in addition. Not all liners are born equal, whether they are strictly necessary, or not.

Hi
I have had a Dunsley Yorkshire wood burning boiler stove for nearly a year now and thought it time to sweep the flue. I borrowed a set of rods and brush and had the job done in half an hour, but all I got out was about a large jam jar full of grainy soot. I swept it twice to be sure but no more came out.
I was using joinery off cuts (4" x 4") last winter as I had no stock of dry logs' and it was going all day, every day and burning very efficiently with hardly any ash.
I have had a stock of beech oak and hawthorn drying since last October so will be using less joinery wood this year. Should I expect more soot next year? I remember as a child, the chimney sweep used to fill a sack with soot from our coal fires.
Cheers
Richard

That sounds good ,thejointmaster.
Just a thought, would the brush bring down or show any signs of tarry deposits?
I don't now about more or less soot but it sounds like you're not going to have a problem.

Has anyone got much experiance of burning larch? I'm asking as I've got loads from dead standing trees and I'm wondering if mixing with some hardwood might be useful.

No tar just that bit of soot, so all looks good then.
I must be turning into a sad case. I keep eyeing my log pile and looking forward to winter. I am still using gas to heat my water through the summer, but in the winter the gas bill is near zero
