House fires

[olyman]

it was more like a throbbing. We used to burn ties in a "relatively" safe system, and once a week I would burn the flue intentionally. It gets into a oscillation. The air going up the stack is depleted, and when more arrives is flashes into a small explosion blowing burning embers out the top, and filling the firebox on stove with flame. Fun stuff.

smoke detector is obtained, battery installed, and screwed to wall. Cat might jump outta his skin if the thing goes off.

Is it plumbed so the line can't freeze during the winter? Just thought about that since it's 10°F here now.....

Yep, chimney runs up the middle of the house right by The upstairs bathroom so he ran a line straight up through the wall next to it. Easy access panel too. He's in a winter climate too.
