Like the title says.. This should be fun, with mild temps coming this week.

I have a Sootmaster vacuum cleaner, awesome unit. Not sure what a "soot eater" is?

The original LintEater still works better, IMO. It comes w/ an adapter that will fit right onto the bottom of a cleanout T, the vacuum hooks right to that, and the flex rod goes right through a small hole. Turn the vac on, insert the brush and connect the rods, plug adapter onto T, away you go....no muss, no fuss.

Is that all you have to do to clean out the vent pipe?

That's all I do during the heating season....

At the end of the season I take my "nozzle" off and clean it up to look new again... But as far as venting that's all I do to clean it all.

Besides attaching an electric dill to the end to spin the rod/brush, that's it. The 3 supplied rods are plenty for me to do mine.

I have something just like it yet has a longer single flex rod assembly. It works great to loosen up the ash in the vent and then I use the blower trick to blow it in my neighbor’s yard.
