I’ve got a recently installed RSF Focus 3600. We’ve had two fires so far and it’s a great little fireplace.
The chimney is Excel double wall insulated 6” stainless steel. My understanding is to use a nylon (non-metal) brush.
The manual suggests cleaning it once a week in the beginning to get a read on how much buildup is happening. It’s almost summer time here and we won’t be having many fires, but I’d like to be ready come fall to sweep the chimney myself.
I’ve read through as many posts as I could find on chimney brushes v.s. soot-eater, and the sweeping process.
I’m still not clear whether I should go with a soot eater or standard 6” nylon/poly brush?
I’m also looking for additional tutorials that might be of benefit for a newbie.
Thanks
