Gotcha, appreciate the advice, this flue is 8" x 12", vertically, it's in a huge chimney next to another flue that is 2'x 2', the latter never got any build up. The only concern is where the stove pipe connects into the concrete wall, and about 4 feet to the elbow up and the first few feet of the vertical flue. The stove pipe is 7" and they used pipe to form the vertical in the bottom of the chimney, I can leave a chain up there and rattle the section I'm concerned with and monitor it, we never had any trouble with it years ago, just trying to refresh my memory, I was a lot younger then, did what I was told, but spent a lot of time running that stove, it was here when the place was built I can remember the guys using it to heat the place while it was being built. Date on the mud around the pipe was 11/12/77, first time I went and took a look at contemplating firing it back up, was 11/12/07, 30 years to the day.
This one is on the end of the house and is over the roof line, there is a lot of space around it, if there ever were a fire I could cut off the oxygen to it pretty quickly on both ends, there is no place for it to cause any damage, but it's good discussion, best to be prepared and have a plan well ahead of time, it will be interesting to see how much creosote forms as I start to use it, just want to have some confidence that by keeping an eye on things, there is nothing to worry about, nope I'm not the guy who waits 5 years to clean their oil fired furnace, on the brink of a disaster, like my friend sees quite often in the heating business, well worth whatever work you have to do for the heat it provides.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
