I burn a combination of oak, alligator juniper, and hickory in my wood stove. How often should I sweep out my chimney pipe to avoid a buildup of soot and possibly a fire? Also, do those chimney cleaner things that you toss into the fire really work?
For those who aren’t familiar with alligator juniper, it is a hard wood (not quite as dense as oak) that is good for wood stoves - so I’m told. Maybe the guy selling it to me just wanted me to think that…
