I am a wood burning newbie. We are having a Quad Yosemite stove installed in a masonry fireplace next week. The installation includes a 6" stainless steel liner.
I would like to clean the chimney myself to save the costs of a yearly cleaning. However I'm not sure if there is an easy way for me to do this. We have a 2 story tudor style house with a moderately steep slate roof. The house has a hip roof and the chimney is interior so not near the edges. I do not feel safe climbing on the roof myself so I would have to do a bottom up cleaning. Can I push a brush up over 2 1/2 stories using fiberglass rods like sold on the ACE website?
The stove will actually sit inside the fireplace so I will have to disconnect the liner and pull out the stove to access the bottom of the chimney. Are there any suggestions to make this process easier?
Thanks for your help. I really looking forward to having wood burning warmth in the house.
