We have a coal fire since last winter, there are also burned. Now that is getting cold again, it would be nice to get the fire, but I put a little afraid of the fire. How often should be swept?
And it is a form of bricolage, or is it just Dangerous?
My partner suggests that more and someone with an Afro.

It depends on what type of fuel burned. If you are coal, peat, pine green or burns, then you should have your chimney swept once a year before it is their first fire of the winter a good time, although most of sweeps will be very busy this time of year.
If you burn only dry wood, then you should be able to get out every two or three years.
I burn my coal fire and was struck by the screen twice a year to do, but only for something like 5 months in winter, then have only done once, if you don 'a one-storey house, it can test itself, but a swing is insured for damage to our cost of scanning every year, last year around £ 50.00 for God knows what it will cost this year.
You can buy a newspaper, around the fireplace to the release of a certain type of chemical clean, buy, do something for the soot.
A place where I lived for nine years was in the middle of nowhere and nothing but charred wood. Never bothered to sweep the whole time. But of course we had a large brick fireplace, where you can save a decent size files.
We have done the first step after the summer, has a spark guard in front decreases the fireplace for the first few days of soot and carbon black, catch, while pulling back into the fire!
What causes most of the soot softwoods such as pine or willow, the snails, which in any way. Need hardwoods like oak, which produce much heat but very smoky. As the driest wood smoke and soot less.
Was used to sign up, split and stack for the winter and let it completely dry during the summer for the coming winter and we all pretty much in the last six months.
Our two Alsatians and cats have saved the fire already monopolized, the carpet from the spark strange. They had the smell of burnt skin sometimes. An open fire is perfect for roasted marshmallows,Potatoes, etc., though! We had one of those long brass toasting-fork extension
