Looking for the easiest way to clean this flue. We have lots of snow on the roof so I would like to find a way to clean it from the inside but if not. Advice on cleaning from above also appreciated.
I am attaching pics but here is a quick explanation of the set up from the stove up. F3CB-6"collar-two 45 elbows-two 3' sections-one 3'-5' adjustable section-6"-7"increaser-adaper-and finally 4 feet of 7 inch class a metalbestos.
In case you cant tell from the pic there is a loft at the top so accessing the top is not a huge problem.
Will a 6" brush fit thu the 45's if pulled by a string? Will a 7" brush get stuck in the 6"? Can I easily remove the air tube section (baffle?) and then reinstall? Please any and all advice appreciated.

The 7 inch brush will be a real PITA in a 6 inch pipe! would not recommend trying it. Pics are not up..
