During the past power outage I was tempted to cook some hotdogs in the fireplace since I got a bbq grill basket. Is it okay or will it cause grease buildup in the pipes? Thanks

Cook away. You should get your pipes cleaned AT LEAST once a year!

You can buy a brush and poles at lowes for about 50 bucks and clean it yourself. Make sure you cool it off for a hole day and scrub away

Just burn a very hot fire when you're done, that will burn it off. I wouldn't make a habit of it but in a power outage if you have an electric stove, go for it.

I learned that what you burn makes a difference in the final taste, the compressed fake logs is obviously a NoNo and greener or sap filled wood leaves an acrid and medicinal taste in open cooking and braising.

I went with a Generator. I'm done with power outages
