Chimney Fire!

Here's a short video of my first chimney fire! I started a fire and in less than 5 minutes of starting it, I heard this loud rushing of air. It sounded like a tornado. I quickly realized my chimney had lit up and started on fire! All good though, no worries and no damage. I'm actually glad it had burned off the creosote build up. I often have fires that burn completely out which creates large creosote deposits. The fire was fast and hot and as soon as I realized what was happening, I closed the doors on my Vermont Casting 1977 Vigilant. The fire roared for about 30 seconds or so and the flue temp shot up to about 700 degrees in that short time. All in all, it couldn't have went any better. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!
