Re: Heat Distorted Vinyl on Wood Burning FP Chimney
Jerry wins the cupie doll. Take a look at this interior shot of the firebox...........practically spotless with the exception of maybe some candle wax. Also, take a look at the melted gasket inside the window/magnifying glass that was adjacent to the fireplace. I saw another window in the house with similar damage and the same orientation to the east facing morning sun.

When I saw the fireplace had not been used, my only thought was it had to be the sun refelecting off the adjacent window.

Luckily just to cover all bases, the fireplace had a few issues that needed some servicing from a fireplace professional such as misaligned retaining clips in the firebox for the legs of the log grate and gaps between the glass door assembly and surround on front of the fireplace.
