Back in 1990 I bought a new Fireplace Xtrordinair--30" version and installed it on
the main floor near the center of our ranch style home. The class A chimney fastens
directly to the top of it. There are no cleanouts and it goes straight up out of the
roof. The unit has a catalytic converter in the top of it so the smoke is burned
also. I have never had to clean it.---Back in 2008 my dad passed away. He heated his
2 story house with a Utica oil fired Boiler and an Add-On "Royal" wood/coal boiler.
He was constantly having creosote problems with an outside 2 story masonry chimney,
and had a couple of chimney fires. He would never open up the wood boiler and let it
get up to 140F to 180F. My stepmother wanted nothing to do with the wood boiler after mmy dad passed,and
the old Utica boiler was beginning to leak between the sections, so I replaced the
oil fired boiler with a Bulgarious high efficiency boiler and removed the Royal
unit. I brought the Royal wood boiler over to my house and installed it in my
attached garage/shop. and plumbed it into my radiant heating system in our living
space. The class A chimney that I installed on the Royal boiler is hooked direct to
the 8"breach of the boiler and necked down to 6". There are 2 lengths of thick wall
stove pipe connecting the 6" class A chimney that runs from the ceiling of the shop
straight to the peak of the roof. About 8' of chimney total. The only issue that I
have had with this chimney was the 2 steel stove pipe sections between boiler and
ceiling jack needed replacement this fall. It has never had to be cleaned in it's 12
years of use. I do try to keep it in the 140-180F range which is easy because it has a aquastat controlled combustion fan and is relatively air tight.---Maybe many of you know this, but for those of you who don't, condensation starts to build in the firebox of a boiler at temps below 140F causing creosote buildup inside the boiler. Not an issue with a hot air furnace.-------------Loren
