I just cleaned my chimney and have some questions. I last cleaned about 6 weeks ago and decided to check and sure enough it needed again. I got about half a coffee can (34 oz) out of and was surprised I got that much. I have a tall chimney about 16 ft inside single and about 12ft double stainless up top.
I had much more buildup in the lower pipe inside the house than in the double outside above. At least 2/3 in lower and maybe 1/3 in upper. My cap was surprising very clean.
I thought the top of chimney was suppose to get more ?.
Its been weird weather this year in 50's yesterday and 40's today. News just said the 13th warmest january in michigan since 1880 and thats what 130 yrs. I have not keep a continues fire going in the warmer weather. I have a lot of new startups.
My main concern is why do I have more buildup in the lower than in the upper part of chimney.
