Lessening soot in fireplace

If you have a fireplace, you know how soot can build up. Soot build-up can cause house fires! To lessen the amount of soot build-up, carefully toss table-salt on logs every so often during burning. A professioinal cleaning of the chimney/flue is necessary every 2-4 years, depending on how often the fireplace is used.
