How many thermometers do you need?!?
I have 5, but only trust one. The others are paid for, so i have to use them. Even if they don't work

Hang in there CHeath . . . you're learning . . . and it is a process . . . a slow process sometimes, but steady . . . and safe.
Yep, that's one way to make sure the chimney is clean before putting a liner in!
I even know one fella (may or may not be a member here, lives south of the Mason Dixon line yet East of West Virginia, might even burn an Englander 30 in a fireplace ) crazy enough to self induce a chimney fire before installing his liner!
Takes a pretty high level of swagger to do that though. Definitely not the recommended approach.

I think the builder died years ago.
Man the wife is pissed! She got spoiled to the real heat in here! Now she's "freezing" lol. I swear, I think I may fire it back up being the pipe and lower chimney is ok. Order up some creo remover and roll it for another week or 2. We are almost to the warmup. Thoughts?
Neither yet I plan on covering the hole with mortor. I've got a 7x7 brush on my watch list on eBay but have not purchased it yet. Honestly I didn't expect to have to clean a month in, that's why I have no cleaning tools.
I cleaned my masonry chimney ever year and some times every 2 years, if you are burning correctly why would you have to do it every month?When running a masonry chimney, I liked to clean it monthly. Now that I have a SS liner, I go every 2-3 months.

Ok Pen the point of the post was why do it more often with a masonary chimney then a metal one, sure I could run a brush through mine every few weeks but what would be the point? Burning dry wood and safe flue temps is my piece of mind, then when I clean it once a year and there is hardly any thing in it I know I am doing it right.Nobody said I had to do it, I said I liked to do it on that schedule. A monthly inspection should take place. If it's easy enough, why not run the brush through at the same time?
I've yet to hear of someone wearing out a perfectly good chimney with a brush, but seen plenty of perfectly good homes ruined by a chimney fire.

easy! lol. Do I need a 6x6 square or a 7x7 square?
