wow, how did that not burn the house down

 

[Highbeam]

Guess the pic? Looks like a smoker's throat.

Kinda round, kinda shiny. A left hand thread or spiral.

I'm thinking it might be a chimney.

How about an after shot?

Just lucky I guess. BTW, that pic is from the breech, up, in a straight 6'' rigid liner.
I looked in the stove and saw nice fluffy white ash and started thinking "why all this creo?"
I through a quarter in the breech, went down to an unheated frigid cellar and found, (are you ready?) a rusted-out and gone clean-out door and my quater. 8-/
EDIT to add: it never ignited, thankgod.

haha, man sounds fun!
how thick is that build up? The Pic makes it look like it has only a tennis ball size opening

 

[BrotherBart]

Aren't they all supposed to look like that?

These are fantasies of Chimneysweep. His five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

I can see The Kirk . That's the Cape Cod Tunnel Cam.

Worm hole to the next dimension??

I think I can see O'Neill & Te'alc on their way P98372

Man, thats bad.

Not to mention SCARY!

It's amazing the quarter made it thru!

I'm thinking ruptured everything!

We need to bookmark this thread. Then every week when the next person asks "when should I clean my flue?" - we could throw up this link and say "a few days before it starts to look like this"

 

[bjkjoseph]

that looks like bill parcells colonoscopy.

Some things are better left unsaid...

that looks like bill parcells colonoscopy.

Hey, I just watched mine a couple weeks ago and it was in color and a LOT cleaner than that.

 

[Gator eye]

How you going to get that out?

I would bet it won't just brush out.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Believe it or not, I've seen worse! But that is terrible. Those are not fun to clean and are not a 10 minute job either.

 

[Defiant]

With stage 3 being the highest, what stage might this be considered?
Might be better to replace the liner.
:coolcheese:

 

[swestall]

Hi Tom!
That thing looks so bad that you have to think the user had someone looking out for them. If you have one, you should post a pic from an old beehive chimney with no liner at all so folks can see how houses burn down. I saw one once that had pieces the size of softballs built up all around within it.
Here in New England its been a cold one, using more wood that normal. But, cruising along just the same.
I hope all is well there in the Northwest and with you and yours.
Take care. SW

I'll spin chains through it. The flue is stainless rigid, it should clean up nicely.

Thanks for the pictures, looking forward to the aftershots. Got me wondering about the status of my chimney now!
