--- CHIMNEYS ---

Cleaning:
...How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
Unfortunately, this is a question that has no answer. There are many variables involved. For example...What type of wood you burn. The number of fires you have. How efficient your chimney is, etc.

Your best bet is to have your chimney inspected by a chimney cleaning professional.

Safety:
...What one thing with regard to chimney safety should I be sure and have on top of my fireplace's chimney?
You should be sure that your fireplace has a cover on top of the fireplace's chimney.

...Why is it so important my fireplace's chimney has a cover on top of it?
You would be surprised how many times animals fall and/or try and crawl down the chimney.

NOTE:
Sometimes animals get lodged inside of the chimney walls and block the flow of smoke. This can cause a fire.

...What type of wood should I never burn in my fireplace?
You should never burn any type of pine tree (i.e. white pine, blue spruce, norway spruce, etc.) in your fireplace.

...Why should I never burn pine logs in my fireplace?
Pine logs cause a build up of creosote on the walls of your chimney. With enough creosote build up, it could cause a fire inside of your chimney.

...What is creosote?
Creosote is a residue that is left behind on chimney walls from burning logs that contain a large amount of sap in them such as pine logs.
