But hey - I'll get a cord + of firewood out of it!
Once it cures out will you burn inside or out? Maples, pines and fruit trees will add more creosote to a chimney.
At least home and people were safe when it came down. Can always replace a tree.
I have a free-standing woodstove with a metal flue. Straight pipe. I fashioned a paint bucket into a scrubber that I run up and down the flue every year to keep it clear. I had a stack fire years ago (in a house I lost to my 2nd x) that was interesting to resolve. Learned about chimney care then.
The thing that gets most people into trouble is being stingy when burning. They load up the box and then choke off the air so that the fire smoulders. Yes, that makes the fire last a long time without feeding it fuel, but yes, it causes soot buildup.
I prefer a smaller but hotter fire. I have to tend to it a bit more often - but then I need to get off my lazy butt anyway ;'}
