Yes, I've heard this since... growing up in sunny southern California without a fireplace I had no idea about them. One cold winter in Michigan changed all that!
I did hear that my chimney fire was quite impressive for the way that it blew the chimney right off the house just about level with the roof. After we heard the explosion we ran outside to find 10 foot flames coming out of the hole where the chimney used to be and brick scattered all over ours and even the neighbors yard. It was quite a sight.
In my genius I had actually turned the tree up-side-down and stuffed it up the chimney all the way to the damper. Of course the biggest miracle was that it did not burn the house down.
Love it!

We had a chimney fire, once. Not nearly as impressive as yours, of course. Some ivy had grown all the way up and over into the inside of it, and caught fire. No structural damage at all. Not so much as a cracked brick.

All that time growing ivy and it was a dud?... Bummer! Next time try a 3 month old 6 foot christmas tree, fast, easy and worked for me!
This happened fairly recently...I went to the alter to pray, after awhile I feel a tugging on my shirt, and a "Sorry brother". It took me awhile to realize my pants was sitting a little low...

Plumb much?

I believe that I will stand down the block from Timmy's house when the two of you put that tree in the fireplace. I have a feeling that it would probably knock the house flat. (Especially after I put gasoline in the fireplace first. Hehe)

Bud Light Presents Real Men of Genius
(Real Men of Genius)
This Memorial Day we salute you Mr. Gasoline BBQ Starter
(Mr. Gasoline BBQ Starter)
Never mind charcoal chimneys, and easy lighting briquettes. The only way to start a real BBQ is with a gallon of 93 octane and a big book of matches
(Light up the sky)
Who needs eyebrows? You're hungry and you've got 7 pounds of lamb shanks ready to go
(That's a lot of kabobs)
You don't just defy convention, you defy warning labels, and common sense
(Very low I.Q.)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light O' Prince of the Pyrotechnic, because no one makes a backyard mushroom cloud like you do
(Mr. Gasoline BBQ Starter)
