Three passes down the pipe to the trap shop vac in trap this is what I got ,some flaky creosote around the chimney cap shown also. Not bad for the Blaze King Parlor.We burn 24/7 when cold.Never use the gas furnace it's like new,run once a month to keep moisture out of.

Nice! How'd you get the photo, disconnect or bore scope?

On gas furnace, wouldn't running it once per month put more moisture into it, than take it out? Yeah, the housing heats up, driving out any moisture in the room air. But one of the primary byproducts of burning natural gas is water vapor.
