Chil chimney sweep; I had no clue !

[demolitionman]

err, I miss typed the title! Child Chimney Sweeps.I came across this article that I found both fascinating and cruel. I've burn wood, coal and pellets my whole life and have delt with chimney fires, clogged chimneys, creosote issues, critters living in liners and squirrels stuck in clean outs, so when I read this I found it very wild.

I wouldn't doubt that children in some parts of the world are still used for such purposes.
