Ropes course/climbing safety training for our chimney sweeps at Earth Trek climbing gym in Denver. We are in Denver to attend a two day seminar for chimney professionals and decided we would take the opportunity to further our education at the largest climbing gym in the US. Our investments in training are one of the things that sets us apart from others chimney companies in our area. We are the only company in New Mexico that makes these types of investments.

Some of the Bailey’s crew after a meeting with “Sooty Bob” Daniels, one of the founding fathers of the chimney industry in the United States. Daniels founded Copperfield chimney supply, and educated a generation of sweeps on how to be more successful at saving our customers’ lives.

The moisture content of your firewood is very important. Part of our job as chimney sweeps in Taos and Santa Fe is to educate the public about this issue. Ideal moisture content of firewood is 20-25%. At that moisture content, a pound of firewood will put out 6200 BTU's of heat when it burns in your fireplace or wood stove. At 50% moisture (firewood that has been left out in the rain or snow,) the same pound of wood only puts out 4,000 BTU's. Burning wet or green wood increases creosote accumulation in your chimney, increasing danger and lowering performance. Please keep your fire wood dry. Do not burn "green" (not completely seasoned) wood.
