One thing I did get told was that if you are burning wood, it is best
to sweep the chimney quarterly

For most people, isn't that the same thing as sweping it annually?

I light my fire regularly, because otherwise I'd be knee-deep is sawdust
and offcuts. However it's only 3-4 months of the year where I'm really
burning it to keep warm and I just sweep it each Spring.

How many people are really running woodburners year round?
