Think about it, that chimney is connected to a wood burning stow. I guess wood
gives off acid as well.

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?
