CLEANED THE CHIMNEY THIS WEEKEND

[FORCE FAB]

Ive been burning since around haloween because its the first year with the stove and wanted to get friendly with it...Swept the chimney on saturday with my new brush for 12 bucks and the pvc conduit rods at 1.oo each for 10 footers(Thanks to the forum).Well there was no sine creosote just stuff that looked like coffee grinds..I i got about a quart of it out and most of it was out the first time the brush went down..Is that too much?oh my chimney is about 13 feet tall

Sounds like you're in fine shape. So far all I am getting is the coffee grounds type stuff, too.

Yer in good shape...though that chimney seems a bit on the short side. Does it draw good?

"30 gallons in huge chunks. "

Wow! I think I could heat my place for a week just burning the ceosote from your chimney.

Yep, a quart sounds good. I just cleaned my chimney and got about 30 gallons in huge chunks. Needless to say, I also just finished lining my chimney to avoid that problem in the future.

:bug: OMG, 30 gallons??? We burned wet wood for a while when we first started in october, and only got 5 gallons from our 30' chimney!

It was big and fluffy. When I crunched it up, it fit into a regular kitchen trashbag with room to spare. Probably 6 or 7 gallons. It was also a 13"X13" flue tile.

Crawled up on my roof today. I've been putting it off because of the snow and ice, but we're supposed to get some more
snow tomorrow.

Wasn't hardly worth it. Maybe half a cup of powder, and all at the top. I think I'm good until summer.

Nice view from the roof, but it's a long way down. Was glad to be on the ground.
