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?
