Q: Should a chimney flue be open or closed?

• <div><p>The damper, located just above the firebox, can open or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-close-chimney-flue.htm">close the chimney flue</a>. The damper should remain closed unless there&rsquo;s a fire burning in the fireplace. Closing the damper prevents energy loss through the chimney and cold air from seeping into the home during the winter. Opening the damper helps maintain airflow when there is a fire and prevents smoke and gases from venting into the house.</p></div>

Q: How long does a chimney cap last?

• <div><p>A chimney cap typically lasts between three and 25 years. This wide range is due to several variables, including the material it's made from, the local climate, and how frequently you use your fireplace. Living in an area with severe weather can shorten its lifespan. Regular inspections, maintenance, and minor repairs as needed can help your chimney cap last as long as possible.</p></div>

Q: What is the best style of chimney cap?

• <div><p>The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.</p></div>

Q: How long do you burn a creosote log by itself?

• <div><p>In general, it will take about 90 minutes to burn the creosote sweeping log by itself, allowing it to work its magic. This may be longer or shorter depending on the conditions of your chimney.</p></div>

Q: How likely is a chimney fire?

• <div><p>Depending on who&rsquo;s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren&rsquo;t exactly common&mdash;but they&rsquo;re not rare, either. Since they&rsquo;re so dangerous, it&rsquo;s important to take precautions to prevent them.</p></div>
