Is this ok?

The inside of my double wall pipe appears to be bent slightly outward at a seam a few feet up. I can almost see behind it if I shine the light just right. Should I be worried about this, or can I keep on using it?

I'd be more concerned about scraping away that last batch of sote.

I think my brush is what pulled back those edges. Got the rest from the bottom. I had been cleaning it from the top but maybe that was a bad idea? Also, are you saying those curled edges are nothing to be concerned about? I tapped them back as flat as I could with a piece of wood.

It doesn't look like showstopper to me.

Thank you. Just don't want to burn my house down over something I could replace for a lot cheaper. I knew someone here would know.

Yeah not a big deal at this point but I would switch to a rotary cleaner so the brush doesn't snag an edge again.

Any recommendations?
