I've read discussions here of brush and rods for cleaning the exhaust ducting on stoves but not on cleaning the heat exchage pipes (that fill up with ash thus reducing good heat production). I have an old worn out 2.5" diameter wire brush with a 30" flexible twisted wire handle (see photo) that I am currently using but I was wondering if there are other alternatives that might better access the turns up in the tubes. Heat output increases alot after this type of cleaning. I doubt a 3" diameter brush head would navigate the tube turns and this is the size I see for sale in most stores around here. The one I am currently using has pretty badly worn wire bristles.
Any suggestions for alternative brushes that have proven to work effectively or where I can find a replacement for my worn one?
Thanks!
