I went up on the roof to sweep the chimney, but had to abort the mission. I have SS pipe, and when I removed the cap, there is a metal bar blocking the brush from getting in there. I have a metal brush and fiberglass rods which bend a little (bought at Lowes). Do I need a poly brush and super flexible rods to squeeze it in there, or is there some other way to do this. I can't imagine getting down the whole pipe having to work at an angle like that and not being able to brush straight up and down.
