I was home with the kids. It's starting to snow outside. I turned on the pellet stove, and within minutes it turned itself off and smelled like burning wood.
a few minutes later, we realize it's smokey in the living room and REALLY smells like smoke. So i open the door to the stove and there is smoke POURING out. Billowing out. i shut the door as fast as i could.
the living room is now really bad, and smoke is pouring out of the vents of the stove.
panic time. I call my husband (he's away) and i can't get the words out fast enough that I think the chimney is on fire. My son comes downstairs and together we disconnect the back of the stove and spray the fire extinguisher up into it.
it shoots right back into the living room (which is now smokey and dusty).
It didn't work. I go outside and shine a spotlight onto the chimney and smoke is pouring out of it.
My son gets the ladder and climbs up the chimney while me and his gf hold the ladder. he takes the fire extinguisher and goes to shoot it down the chimney and it's empty.
in the meantime, my neighbor came over to see if she should call the fire dept. The living room wasn't getting any more smoke but it was come out of the chimney FAST.
So my son climbed back up with two soda bottles filled with water and poured it down.
everything is good now. my house is bad smokey, and the fireplace is filled with that white extinguisher stuff and water, but no more smoke. i had to dust the whole living room.
oh, and my neighbor who was here? left her kid here to sleep over. wtf? like I don't have enough going on, i need your son here on a weekday because he can't be home alone for 15 minutes??? He's going into high school next year.
