There are a couple of threads out there that cover this in depth. The general consensus is to stick with poly brushes for SS.

Make sure the chimney is cool before you poke that poly brush into it.

I seem to recall something about how you can use a wire brush if it's one inch in diameter smaller than the pipe, but I think it's best to stick with poly in any event. Over time I think the steel brush will scratch the surface of the SS, shortening its life.
