What makes wood fireplaces in Cut and Shoot work harder?
Cut and Shoot is about 40 miles from downtown Houston, north of the city in wooded country where wood is easy to come by and a crackling fireplace is part of how many households get through a cold night. That means more fires, and more fires mean more soot and creosote in the flue.
A chimney that sees regular use over a full season can build up a thick layer that narrows the flue and feeds chimney fires. Heavy use also wears the firebox, since repeated heating and cooling cracks brick and mortar. A yearly sweep and inspection is the routine that keeps a hard-working fireplace safe, and it is best done before the season starts, not after a problem appears.
What is included in the $99 visit?
Our sweep and inspection starts at $99 and covers the flue, firebox, damper, cap and crown. After we sweep, we check each of those parts so you know exactly where the chimney stands.
If the visit shows something that needs more than a sweep, we tell you what it is and what it costs before we start. That could be a worn cap, a cracked crown or a damper that no longer closes tight. You decide whether and when to go ahead. Plenty of homeowners get a clean chimney and a clean bill of health, and that is the best outcome.
Heavy users often ask whether they should sweep twice a season. The honest answer depends on how much you burn and what you burn. A household that keeps a fire going most winter evenings on unseasoned wood builds buildup much faster than one that burns a few weekend fires on dry hardwood. The inspection tells us where your chimney stands, and we will tell you plainly if a midseason look makes sense.
How do I burn wood in a way that is easier on my chimney?
A few habits make a real difference, whatever your chimney looks like.
- Burn dry, seasoned hardwood when you can. Wet or green wood smolders and leaves heavy creosote.
- Build smaller, hotter fires rather than slow smoldering ones.
- Keep the damper fully open while the fire burns and until it is out.
- Clean out ashes once they are fully cool, and keep them in a metal container.
None of these replace a yearly sweep, but they slow the buildup and keep the flue cleaner between visits. A chimney that is swept every year and used carefully is far less likely to give you a scare.

Top 3 Reasons to Sweep your Chimney
The importance of yearly chimney inspections and sweepings cannot be understated, as they are the one true way to minimize the likelihood of a chimney fire sparking in the first place. The fact is that clean chimneys simply don’t catch fire.
- Prevent Chimney Fires
- Protect Your Health
Breathing the fumes from gas or solid fuel fires can be dangerous—or even fatal. - Avoid Smoke Damage
If a chimney is not cleaned regularly, soot will accumulate around the flue. This makes it difficult for the flue to draw the smoke upwards and can cause the smoke to enter your room. This soot will leave a black film around your hearth and soil any furniture, carpeting, or nearby decor. Smoke can also leave black stains around your chimney, which can be difficult or sometimes impossible to remove.
What Degree of Creosote is in Your Chimney?
A buildup of creosote is the main reason why it’s important to have your chimney cleaned and inspected annually, but did you know that there are three degrees, or stages, of creosote?
Soot: While not dangerous, soot is flammable and spreads easily, leaving dirt stains in your home and potentially causing respiratory illnesses.
Creosote flakes: If soot isn’t addressed in a timely manner, over time it can morph into larger flakes, which are highly flammable and more difficult to remove.
Tar creosote: Severe disrepair. At this stage, the creosote coalesces to form a thick, extremely flammable paste along the walls of the chimney. The tar releases gasses, which remain in the chimney flue until a fire is lit. At that point, the gasses as well as the tar will catch fire almost immediately.
Chimney Fire Causes
Factors that increase risk of chimney fires include:
- Failing to have your chimney swept often enough, which can lead to soot buildup
- Blockages such as soot buildup, animal nests, or bits of foliage in your chimney that can restrict air flow
- Burning wet or unseasoned wood, which increases the production of creosote

Can't say enough good things about this company. James is extremely easy to communicate with, and is glad to answer any questions. The installers were extremely quick, but did a very quality job, at an affordable price. If I need any future chimney work I will definitely be coming back to Chimney Master Dallas.

I will try to keep this short and sweet! From dealing with the owner about what our needs really were to keeping the communication lines open and his team installing our new Buck Stove.
There is no way I could have been any more pleased with the entire experience. Their team are "First Class" all the way
