good post Andy, and congrats on giving up, like you my missus smokes so its really hard when there are cigarettes in the house, so i thought if i've got an e-cig i can pick that up when the craving gets to me. i know it's an easy way out but at least i'll be smoking something that aint going to...

Mark, the pull on the flue will be a lot less untill it warms up, re sweeping i would say you should sweep it or get it swept at least once a year, here in france we use nothing but hardwood, oak, birch etc and need to sweep at least once a year for insurance purposes, if you are using soft...
