Hello everyone. I need some help determining what size and type brush I may need for cleaning. I have a 6"x25' ss liner ovalized the full run to fit the flue of a 6x9 masontry chimney.
 
Since the liner is ovalized, you may end up having to trim the brush to fit. Get a poly brush and use a good set of tin snips to trim the brush for an easier fit.
 
I might have to look into the sooteater. I have a steep roof that a sweep refused to work on, so this bottom up method looks real good. Used the search function- plenty of info to read up on. Thanks!
 
Ordered one today. Thanks to all the members that shared their experience using the sooteater.
