How to Prime the Flue?
Fully open the damper.
Arrange your logs (but do not light the stack yet).
Roll up 3-5 newspapers into a torch-like shape.
Light one end and hold it close to the flue.
Continue lighting these torches until you physically see the smoke traveling upwards.
Finally, safely light your fire and enjoy
Do you have Chimney Swifts?
While other birds can often successfully be removed from the chimney, chimney swifts cannot. Chimney swifts are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This means that removing or destroying nests with eggs or young hatchlings is a federal offense punishable by law. Because of this, no certified or reputable chimney sweep will remove a chimney swift nest until the birds have left. Luckily for homeowners, chimney swifts have a short 6 week nesting cycle. Afterwards allowing you to have the chimney cleaned and resume normal fireplace usage.
