> that pipe is fucking leaking creasote. oh fuck i need to find the pictures i took of my parents chimney. they bought the house 30 years ago and literally never cleaned the chimney and never learned how to properly operate the stove. i went up to clean it for them a few years ago and there was a solid 2" of creosote lining the walls of the 8" pipe the entire length and several signs of chimney fires over the years. i replaced the chimney after seeing that and all of the wood surrounding the pipe was charred in the attic and some parts of the roof were melted. no idea how the place didn't burn down.
