Wet pine in a chimney that wasn't lined or properly cleaned...
The chimney here has a fancy masonry liner that was installed for the crappy
woodstove that was here.
Amazing, the liner must have cost thousands of dollars to install. The stove
must have cost about $100 then they were too dumb to put in the proper 6" flue
hole. They put a 4" hole with a sizing pipe, filled the basement with smoke.
I cut the hole the right size, put in a thimble (the old piece was just a 4"
pipe into the hole) and bought a good stove. Heats the house real nice. In the
fall I'll have a sweep check it out but based on one season of burning just
hardwood and burning it HOT I'm not worried.

They didn't mind until I had a creosote fire (from burning too much
pine)
that cracked the chimney. Then they made us line the chimneys at great
expen$e.
In the new house we only have a fireplace, and SWMBO likes it the way
it is
unless I can find a really good looking FP insert.
