Yes, even a rarely used chimney should be checked. Creosote and soot build up a little with each fire, and after 20 years things like birds' nests, leaves, and moisture damage can block the flue or crack the masonry without you noticing. A chimney that sits unused can also get damp inside, which weakens the mortar over time. The safe habit is a basic inspection once a year and a cleaning when buildup is found, even if you only light a handful of fires. If you notice a smoky smell, white stains on the outside brick, or animals near the cap, get it looked at sooner.
