I can't speak from experience. My creeper is on a wooden arbor. There is a bank in town which does have it growing on a brick wall, but I have not examined the wall.

I doubt that Virginia creeper would be good for your chimney. It's very invasive, so you must keep it well confined, and I would say, well away from brick and mortar.

My understanding is that it will cause wood siding to rot, but other materials are OK.

Virginina creeper is safe. While regular ivy will burrow roots into the mortar, virginia creeper has sticky tendrils that stick to the wall and don't damage the mortar. It is a great fast growing vine.

I wouldn't simply because while relatively non-toxic it is made for outdoor use. I would be concerned that in a house there would not be enough air movement to prevent too much of the product from building up too much. I would also be concerned about too uch product building up on carpets and cloth furniture

Probably no issue. I was going to do the same thing originally, but the look of the rock and logs is very interesting. Looks very natural.

Honestly I don't know, I've always used it as decoration to stage my homes before selling them. Try asking someone at a store that sells gas fireplaces or gas heaters to be on the safe side.

I would think so, but my plant didn't survive the shipping. Remember though, that this is a tree. It is a small tree, growing 4-6 m (13-20 feet) tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm (16 in) diameter, but most homes don't have 20 foot tall ceilings. ;-)

No, these should not be placed anywhere where people spend more than four hours a day, and unless the flue is closed, too, most of the vapor would waft up the chimney. They do not act as a repellent, so hanging one outside your front door would not work.

I don't think you'll have a problem. I have mine on a deck that gets plenty of wind and the potting soil weighs it down enough that it doesn't move, much less blow over.

As long as the unit fits safely in your fireplace there should be no problem.

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. �

We have not had a problem with build-up on the baffle and have had very little 'dirt' come off our chimney when we clean it in the summer/fall. We burn most days in the winter and clean our chimney every year.

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

I bought 2 extra rods for 24 ft chimney and no problem in 6"flue so I think you should be ok

John... I had the same problem as I want to put the stove in my cabin and the chimney must extend higher than the roof. I know of no place to purchase the same size pipe as with the stove so my solution was to go to my local muffler shop and have him custom fabricate a section of 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipe to my specs. They were able to match the diameter of the pipe to the existing pipe by flaring the ends. Keep in mind though that in order to maintain the proper draft, especially in cold weather, the length outside the house must be insulated. This is very important. Wrap the chimney with fiberglass matting and protect it against rain water and you will be all set. Hope this helps you. Phil John...

Only if you have a fireplace to put it in so the smoke will go up the chimney...I tried for myself and tbis wae the only way to use inside the house as its so much bigger than picture shows.

I don't think that would work very well, but I guess you could build something to mount it. You would need to make sure it has enough ventilation or it will burn up.

At, 30 feet I would be very careful and go slow until you get a good feel for the brush ,I would be leery about hitting the top of your chimney and jamming the brush and it will break if it gets stuck. Plus the hassle of then removing the brush. Light buildup would not be a problem but if you get the hard chunks of creosote I would be very careful.

It should be fine, it is cool to the touch on the base, even the granite is fine for setting drinks on while the fire is lit. It will take two strong people to lift it though.
