Unless you are a chimney expert, there might not always be a
clear sign that your chimney needs to be cleaned. Cleaning can vary from
chimney to chimney and can depend on the type of wood you use. That’s why it is
smart to consult with a chimney sweep in Hawaii.
One way to see if your chimney needs to be cleaned is
checking the creosote. Always make sure there is no airflow coming from the chimney
when checking. When checking, make sure
to wear protective gear. This includes gloves, goggles, a mask, and any
clothing to protect your skin. If you find that the smoke chamber is way too
dirty, you should not use the fireplace until this is cleaned. Without a proper
cleaning, a chimney fire could occur.
