I have no idea what is generated burning store-bought duraflame fire logs. I
know that, brunt "wrong" generate a lot of chemical compounds, creosote being
one of them. I still wouldn't recommend putting anything near a chimney. I know
what my TV antenna looked like after a few years next to (on top) of my
chimney. Not a pretty picture.

Suppose the only thing burned are those store-bought duraflame fire logs?

The biggest problem is corrosion. Any oil burner
generate a small, but
significant amount of acid that will corrode your tower,
antenna, rotor,
etc. faster than away from the chimney. I have not seen any
problems with
soot.

I have limited options for placing my 40' tower and tribander at my
QTH.
One of
them is next to the 2 story house very near the 33' chimney.
Am wondering if
anyone has experience...soot affecting rotor or antenna
parts?
