So I have run into a little snag here at the bottom of my chimney pipe. I have flexible pipe that makes about the tightest bend I can squeeze out of it right where it comes out of the chimeny to the stove. The bend is too tight for my flexible cleaning rod to make the bend so I have a 2-3 foot section of pipe that I am really having trouble cleaning. The Jotul Oslo is not very friendly for going up from the the lower end either. I could take off the rear peice to the Oslo but that seems like the worst option as it is painstaking at this point. Any bright ideas for getting these last few feet cleaned up so I don't have a problem down the road????

Why don't you remove the liner from the top of the unit, turn the flue collar to the rear & add a tee into the system??
That should eliminate your problem, IMHO...
 
That's an awesome looking thermal mass you have there! Love it!
