I have a small wood insert in an old stone fireplace. I typically brush it out once a year but I plan on using it quite a bit more frequently now that my kids are getting older. I'm burning bone-dry, standing dead western larch and Douglas-fir. How frequently do you guys brush?

I had one once, cool to watch, terrifying to hear. Incinerated the flue cap. If you use dry wood and have a good flue temp you won’t get build up.
