Please don't burn tires... ever... Its not just bad for the environment (I'm not an environmentalist, but when the Indians burned tires on the NYS Thruway a few years back, it choked out a lot of stuff), but there are already regulations in OH that are limiting who can use them, and where. Its guys like you, burning tires, who are ruining it for everyone else who is burning good wood.

i clean mine out once a year just before i light it. been to to many house fires that was started by a chimmey fire to not screw around.. If you have a wife like mine it doesent matter what you burn in it if the house isnt 100 degrees shes cold. By the end of the super bowl i had to go to the other room because the thermostat read 99 degrees. damn her

my house was gutted by fire in 1988 cause of a **** poor design of a metal chimney and a potbelly stove in the living room.......some green wood is what caused the fire.......the sap pooled and dripped down onto the carpet.......after the remodel we had a big wood burning central heating unit in the basement and every month or so we would burn a chimney brick and at the beginning of every season too.......

Yeah, that kind of stuff happens. Nowadays building code mandates that any open flame burner has a masonry base, and depending on the state/county, the area around the stove must also be masonry, no carpet, no linoleum. Its not just the sap, it can be hot embers, or even the radiant heat from the stove. I know when I was framing homes we had to elevate them 6 inches and have anything within a 3ft radius tile, brick, or stonework.
