Bob from NuWay was great! He called the night I put in the request for installation of asphalt. His team worked fast and efficiently. They did a great job! I would highly recommend them. The job is done, just waiting for the protective spray coating. I would recommend giving them a call.

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on system complexity and building size.

They provide early warning, minimize property damage, and ensure safety during fire emergencies.

Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold.

A chimney liner isn’t required for an outdoor fireplace; you don’t technically need one if the masonry chimney uses the proper dimensions and is built to code. However, a chimney liner does serve as a protective coating for the flue. Adding a liner could improve performance, safety, and durability. In short, while not necessary, it wouldn’t hurt.

A hot fire alone will not remove significant creosote buildup and can be dangerous, as it risks causing a chimney fire. While the warmth from a fire can help loosen stuck tar, making treatments like creosote logs more effective, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. For existing creosote, the safest and most effective method is to have your chimney professionally cleaned by a chimney sweep.
