Well it's been awhile, but it's that time of year again. Hows everyone doing?? So tell me guys. this is my second, actually my first FULL year of wood burning. I did not clean my chimney after last season.....is this a problem? Harder to clean now? or doesn't make a difference? Should be good on wood I have around 8 to 9 cords stacked. I have three HH stacks....we'll see if they actually season better or not. two have been stacked since spring.
Nice to be back !

Actually easier to clean after the crud has had the summer to dry out good. Just cleaned mine yesterday.
Cleaning now is good. I am still slacking. I did however make a new gasket for my baffle out of small diameter rope gasket.
I will prolly install the test gasket and clean insert this weekend.

Heck if my prototype works out, I'll sell them for 1/2 the cost of the PE. Just not sure if the rope gasket will last in that smoldering environment back there.

It will. I had a 18 3/4 inch piece filling that gap in the side of the 30-NC baffle all last season and it never flinched. Just ran a steel rod through it for a stiffener. You need to give that some thought for yours. Either that or I have a copious quantity of SS kiln elements here that the rod will fit through to use for it. Fits the gap perfectly. Let me know if you want one.
