Guess the pic? Looks like a smoker's throat.
Kinda round, kinda shiny. A left hand thread or spiral.
I'm thinking it might be a chimney.
How about an after shot?

Just lucky I guess. BTW, that pic is from the breech, up, in a straight 6'' rigid liner.
I looked in the stove and saw nice fluffy white ash and started thinking "why all this creo?"
I through a quarter in the breech, went down to an unheated frigid cellar and found, (are you ready?) a rusted-out and gone clean-out door and my quater. 8-/
EDIT to add: it never ignited, thankgod.

Believe it or not, I've seen worse! But that is terrible. Those are not fun to clean and are not a 10 minute job either.

With stage 3 being the highest, what stage might this be considered?
Might be better to replace the liner.

Hi Tom!
That thing looks so bad that you have to think the user had someone looking out for them. If you have one, you should post a pic from an old beehive chimney with no liner at all so folks can see how houses burn down. I saw one once that had pieces the size of softballs built up all around within it.
Here in New England its been a cold one, using more wood that normal. But, cruising along just the same.
I hope all is well there in the Northwest and with you and yours.
Take care. SW

I'll spin chains through it. The flue is stainless rigid, it should clean up nicely.Gator eye said:

Thanks for the pictures, looking forward to the aftershots. Got me wondering about the status of my chimney now!
