Backwoods Savage said:beagler, there are folks who claim you do not need a poly brush for a SS chimney, but I've talked with more than one who sell chimneys and they say that although you can use a wire brush, the chimney won't last as long. In short, about 15-20 years maximum if using steel vs. using a poly, they've never yet had to replace a SS chimney. So for less than $20, it is worth it to me to buy the poly.
I'd suggest going to wherever they sell SS chimneys if you can't find one locally or do a search on the Internet.

True dat. Actually, I am pretty much at ground zero, I won't even know it if it happens. I'll be a pile of ash in a millisecond.crazy_dan said:Hogwildz said:Backwoods Savage said:beagler, there are folks who claim you do not need a poly brush for a SS chimney, but I've talked with more than one who sell chimneys and they say that although you can use a wire brush, the chimney won't last as long.
