There has been several threads regarding cleaning your vent pipe. Evidently, some of you recommend doing it more often than the "once per season" that my Kinderhook manual recommends.
I bought a Linteater system that I had seen recommended here, but it just occured to me that it might not work on the type of vent pipe I have. I'm not sure what the technical name is, but it's basically a coaxial design that carries the air input in a pipe within the exhaust vent pipe (I made an illustration below). My dealer likes these setups as the incoming air is warmed a bit before entering the stove and it only means one hole through the wall.
But will a linteater-type rotary brush work when you're trying to go around the perimeter of another pipe in there?
We have some warmer weather of late and I thought I'd clean the vent before it gets cold again and as I've run about 1.5 tons so far....
