Chimney Techs

When the summer is here, Chimney Techs is not quite as busy selling and servicing fireplaces and stoves in the Memphis, TN and Northeast Arkansas areas. We took some time yesterday and worked on our personal grills and smokers.

While we are fireplace nerds, we also like to eat well, and having our grills and smokers in good working order helps with that.. Having scrap stainless steel sheets around helps with repairs like we had to make! Today we are testing out the repairs on the smoker by smoking chicken wings.

Chimney Techs hopes that you are enjoying your summer as well. It will be fireplace and stove season again soon and we will have more work to do than we can get done, so we are trying to make the most of our summer.

It is that time of year again! It is Chimney Swift time! The Chimney Swift is a migratory bird that is federally protected. They like to nest in chimneys. If you have a chimney that does not have cap and screen on the top (and please make sure that the screen meets fire code, if it is too fine a screen it will clog up) there is a high probability that a chimney swift will nest in your chimney.

"What is the problem with that?", may be your first thought. The problem is that you cannot disturb them, their nests, or their eggs. If you need repair work on your chimney, it cannot be done until these guys migrate in the fall.

Every time Chimney Techs has to break the news to a customer that we cannot complete the work on their chimney until the fall, they are surprised, and usually fairly unhappy.

If you do not have them now, please make sure to get an appropriate cap on your chimney. If you do have them, get with us in the fall and we can take care of getting you an appropriate cap so that they will not be with you next year.

It is never to early to to get ready for the next cold snap! Regency is currently running a sale on their GF40 Pellet Stove! This is a great pellet stove that has a great price for a limited time!

Chimney Techs has several deals in our off season such as this pellet stove, or a Pacific Energy Super wood burning stove, or an Allusion Platinum electric fireplace, or a Superior linear vent free gas fireplace...you get the picture.

If you need a fireplace or stove for your home, business, she shed, or whatever, give us a call at Chimney Techs!
