We've been burning old wood from the old loft conversion, and I'm just getting a bit suspicious of it. I assumed that it wouldn't have any nasties in, but I had the chimney swept last week and I'm getting little crispy bits of soot falling down the flue, which I'm sure isn't good. Just a handful of little rice cake like bits over the last couple of days, but am thinking that this means there is creosote forming in my liner.
Is it the wood? I'm trying an ash fire tonight instead to see if it makes a difference. Or is there something else going wrong with the stove/liner. Obviously the scaffolders and builders were up by the chimney pot, but I can't really see what they could have done to it that the sweep wouldn't spot.
