Chimney mounting may be less than ideal if the chimney is active. Smoke from wood is going to shorten the life of the antenna dramatically. Oil and NG are also corrosive, but to a lesser degree. Still, you may weigh the cost and elect to replace the antenna more frequently. It's certainly less expensive than a roof replacement and repair of leak damage.
You may improve reception and will lengthen the life of the antenna if you use a mast that is taller than 5'. Home Depot stocks 10.5' chain-link fence top rail that works very well as an antenna mast. You can cut it if you don't need the full section, but the further up you go, the less your antenna will be subject to smoke/exhaust.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
