Hi guys-
Great site you have here! I have already learned a bunch looking around on here.
I'm going to clean the chimney for my wood burning stove. I have a 7 inch square masonry/stone flue, around 25 or 30 feet tall. It's a straight shot the whole way, no turns. I plan on cleaning it from above so I can have things sealed off on the bottom end to minimize the mess I make.
I haven't read anything on here about people tying weights to a brush and lowering it down. It seems like it might be easier than screwing so many sections of fiberglass rod together? Also, it seems a lot cheaper than buying fiberglass rod. The ring adapters to tie a rope to a brush are only around 3 or 4 bucks.
But these are just observations from a novice (myself)!
What are your suggestions? Try the weights and rope, or buck up and buy the fiberglass rods? Thanks very much for any advice!
