We have skipped Fall and we’re smack dad in a real St Louis Winter. With temperatures plunging into the single digits and snow on the ground, a warm fire sounds like the ticket to take the chill from your bones. If you’re thinking about using your Saint Louis fireplace soon, don’t do it until you’ve had your chimney inspected for damage, obstructions and creosote buildup. A chimney fire can damage your home or lead to serious injuries and death. An annual chimney inspection and cleaning are the only way to insure that you can use your chimney with peace of mind.
