Many of the logs are 8" or more diameter and a bit too large for the log splitter which is happiest splitting 6" or less. So probably will use the grenade on a lot of them. Not stuck yet but I know what you mean.

I sweep my own .. so I can do it as needed.
but .. if you do get a chimney fire , with an open fire .. I've heard chucking a bucket of water on the fire might be effective, as the steam goes up the chimney and starves the oxygen, putting the fire out.
Never tried it .. but worth a try IMO , whilst waiting for the fire brigade !
