I have a wood burning fireplace that I use about once a week. It has a
metal flue.

How often does it need professional inspection or cleaning. It was
checked when I bought the house 7 years ago.

Once a week is not much, but have it checked now. Seven years is risky, but
at the rate you use it, it may be abel to go more than once a year.
