Did the sweep today. 25' with 6" liner. Burned some less than great wood last year. Put about 4 cords through it last year and had about 10 fires this year before the cleaning. Looks like I came out with about a gallon of the dry "crystalline" stuff.

Nice..I assume you removed all the baffles etc. Was that hard? I cant seem to figure it out from the manual..I searched on here and on YouTube (the video walk throughs are awesome!) butI am still unclear. Dont want to pay a sweep if I dont have to. Any advice appreciated.
 
It is a good thing that you cleaned that chimney John. Get that nasty stuff out of there.

Taking the baffles out is pretty easy on my Jotul. It probably helps that I installed the stove, so I put the baffles in.
