Hi all

This year I want to do all the cleaning. The only thing I wasnt sure about was the liner. I asked someone about the asheater for pellet stoves and he said a brush was for pellet ash and the eater for creosote.

Any thoughts? I may be overthinking this..

Use a brush. There's generally not that much fly ash or soot in there, since it's a froorced air exhaust.
YMMV, but a 3" or a 4" brush & the poles you need are cheap enough & it'll only be a one-time investment.
 
I found out I was searching the wrong thing.. sooteater and linteater *not* asheater ;-)

After looking at all the posts here I ordered the linteater. It's basically a brush but it has
other attachments that I could use elsewhere around the house.
