Duluth kids know the drill. The costume goes over the parka, and nobody sees the costume anyway. After a cold night off the lake, sorting candy by the fire is well earned. Keep the screen closed and anything flowy back from the hearth. Happy Halloween. midtownsweeps.com

Duluth winters are long enough that an open fireplace starts to feel like a missed opportunity. A wood insert goes into your existing firebox and puts that fire to work heating the house instead of the sky.

Duluth winters don’t leave much room for a plan you haven’t tested. Before the lake starts sending snow your way, stack your firewood where you can reach it, swap the detector batteries, and have the stove inspected.

This house didn’t have drywall yet, but it already had heat. That’s the thing about a wood stove. Before the first real storm rolls in, take ten minutes to get ready: dry firewood within reach, flashlights where you can find them, fresh batteries in your smoke and CO detectors, and a stove that’s been inspected this season. No backup heat yet? It’s worth talking about before the cold settles in.

In Duluth, a wood stove isn’t decoration. It’s what keeps the house livable when it’s below zero and the wind off the lake won’t quit. Have the chimney swept before deep winter sets in.

Snow, ice, or one bad windstorm on the lines, and the furnace goes quiet. A wood stove doesn’t care. It just needs dry wood, a clean flue, and a chimney that’s been checked this season. If yours hasn’t been looked at since last winter, now is a good time, before you’re relying on it.

Winters in Duluth mean the windows stay shut for months, which is exactly why a working CO detector matters here. This Fire Prevention Week, test yours and book a sweep before the heating season really starts.

It's Fire Prevention Week, so here are two easy things to do before your first fire this fall. Have the chimney swept and inspected, then walk the house and check your smoke and CO detectors. You want one in every bedroom and one in each common area, and it takes about a minute to test them all. That covers the two things you most want working on a cold night.

We're growing into Minnesota, and Duluth is the kind of place where chimney work never really slows down. Long winters, a lot of wood burning, and homeowners who want it done right. If you've thought about owning a business in a trade like this, we'd like to hear from you.

Duluth doesn't really do a long, lazy fall. One week it's jacket weather along the lake, and the next you're running the fireplace every night. A sweep now means a full season of burning without wondering what's built up in there.

During a routine inspection, our technician spotted something easy to miss from the ground: a metal chase cover cut too short, leaving a strip of wood trim exposed right at the edge. Every time it rains, water finds that gap and soaks into wood that was never meant to get wet. This is exactly the kind of problem you only catch by actually looking. If your chimney hasn't been inspected in a while, book a full inspection at midtownsweeps.com.

Long burn seasons mean your chimney system takes on a lot up here, and small gaps add up fast. A recent Duluth inspection turned up a chase cover cut too short, leaving wood trim exposed to lake-effect rain and snow. That's water damage waiting to happen. Get it checked at midtownsweeps.com.

We pulled a condemned factory-built fireplace out of a two-story building this week. Behind the wall was a venting elbow joint that had failed beyond repair, hidden for who knows how long. That's why we inspect.

We condemned a factory-built fireplace this week after finding a venting elbow joint that had failed beyond repair, tucked out of sight behind the wall. Duluth winters don't leave much room for hidden problems like that.

Energy costs keep climbing, and more homeowners are done guessing what next month's utility bill will look like. Wood and pellet appliances give you something the grid can't: real control over your heating costs and warmth you can actually count on. 2026 is shaping up to be a great year to make the switch.

Why That Fireplace "Refresh" on TikTok Could Cost You

If you've seen the chimney pros going viral for their reactions to home-flipper DIY jobs, you know the cringe is real. Painting over a firebox, caulking with the wrong materials, sealing things that need to breathe, these "quick fixes" can trap heat, hide damage, and turn a cosmetic project into a genuine fire hazard.

Some fireplace maintenance is great to DIY: storing firewood off the ground and covered, keeping the hearth clear, and burning seasoned wood only. But anything involving the firebox, flue, or chimney structure is a job for someone trained to know what's safe.

Not sure if a past project was done right? Midtown Chimney Sweeps will inspect it, tell you straight, and fix what needs fixing. Book your inspection today.

With America celebrating 250 years, we think it's high time chimney sweeps had a celebration of our own.

Actually, we chimney sweeps celebrate every day anyway. In this whole wide world, there's no happier bloke.

Now that the ladder of life has been strung,
a chimney sweep's on the bottommost rung.
Though we spend our days in ashes and soot,
my, what a sight — and oh, what a lot of fun.

We did have to write up two team members last week.

They got it in their heads that playing golf from house to house — chimney top to chimney top — would be a fun idea.

No way.

We explained once again the need to always stay on the SAME roof when playing a consistent game.

But they didn't listen.

So they got written up.

Here's a picture of what our chimney safety manual clearly indicates as acceptable.

Manual Figure 7B: Approved Same-Roof Golfing Procedure
Not recommended. Merely tolerated by management in cartoon form.

A wood insert installed into a framed wall cavity. Construction debris on the firebox floor. A wooden beam sitting directly under the ash door. This family used this fireplace every winter and had no idea any of it was there. That is exactly why an inspection matters. Book yours at midtownsweeps.com.

Duluth weather does not go easy on chimney caps. Freeze and thaw cycles crack and corrode the metal over time, and once that seal fails, rain has a direct path into your flue. Byron found exactly that on this inspection. Schedule yours at midtownsweeps.com.
