I have some problems with that sweep if he left us to tell you about stage 3 creosote. There are only three stages and glaze is stage 3. If you doubt my experience with it then look at my chimney the last season before I lined it. Before I installed the liner I intentionally set this stuff off and it ain't something you want to see.

If the burn in fires are any indication, this winter will be a lot of fun and very warm.

Wow! Now that looks familiar- like my old clay liner until I put in the SS this past summer.

You ain't gonna believe the difference. This forum talked me into it and it has been night and day. Just a little soot in the thing.
