Cabins, camps, and cold nights south of Elkins
Huttonsville lies about ten miles south of Elkins on US-219, in the upper Tygart Valley with Kumbrabow State Forest rising to the west. This is cabin and camp country — hunting camps, weekend places, and year-round homes tucked into the hollows, nearly all of them heated with wood when the temperature drops. A chimney on a seasonal cabin faces a special kind of abuse: it sits cold and damp for months, collecting nests and debris, then gets run hard for a long weekend in November.
That pattern is exactly what causes chimney fires in camp country. We sweep and inspect Huttonsville-area chimneys every fall before hunting season — clearing blockages, removing glazed creosote, and checking that the flue is sound before the first fire of the year. If your place has sat unused since spring, do not light it without a sweep.
