John:
Only dry wooden logs, please.
Do not throw your whiskey as a fire starter so you 'll get house in flames. No old barrels or tyres so the firemen would come visit you, before the Gendarmerie for illegal communication with smoke signals and/or fumigating your neighbours.
More serious thought now, KEEP your receipt of Chimney sweeper in a safe place as it proves sweep was done and this is your only chance to obtain high refund on your belongings from your insurance should the fire destroys entirely your place.
Happy house warming now that the duct is freshly clean ;-)
