The rest of the soot went out of the chimney (too bad it was dark out) and
coated our snow-covered lawn and much of the neighborhood with a fine
black powder. The next day I got up on the roof (to see if the chimney had
been damaged) Looking down at the yard, my house sat in the middle of a
black circle.

I replaced the stack switch and burner with a Beckett.
