I also burn wood,use double wall stainless for a chimney and have an airtight stove in living room(it heats the whole house). I worried more when I first put it in and cleaned it religiously. There has been a learning curve; I had 1 chimney fire while I was starting a fire and I have learned what wood makes creosote. I now hardly have any creosote compared to what I used to have. I mostly only use dead wood and season for 1 yr after cutting and splitting. I don't leave the stove door open very long and keep the damper closed almost all the way. I used to see creosote icicles on the chimney cap, but no more. I replaced the chimney sections when I had my fire . Also I went into the attic to immediately check on the outer part of the chimney after the fire and could put my hand on it, so that eased my mind a little about heat transfer. But the fire scared me too=gave me a lot of respect for fire, and I made sure to take better care of wood and chimney. Also I replaced the stove with an identical one when the original wore out (became less air tight). My fire does smolder, which creates creosote, but I think the wood is the key. I also told my insurance agent when I first installed it, but my rates did not change as far as I know. You just have to be careful. Mark

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
