Hi,
I Just cleaned my insert for the first time. I put about 2.5 cords through it. Please let me know how I did on creosote. Longest part of the process was removing pins that hold secondary burn tubes on my osburn 2200 . I used sooteater from the top and it was super easy to do. [Hearth.com] Rate my creosote

Thank you

doesn't look bad, lots of brown / greyish stuff, anything not tarry and runny is good
 
Looks great!! not bad at all for 2 1/2 cords, lots of fly ash to, you must have a strong draft
 
Looks perfectly normal.
