Stove Pipe Cleaning Tool

[Augmister]

Need to clean my stove pipe which goes straight up for three feet (from the clean out) and then gently bends 90 degrees and goes another 18" into the chimney. I have to negotiate the bend (90 degrees) in the clean out door behind the stove and the other 90 degree bend before the exit into the chimney. What/who makes the best tool to do this job? I don't want to take the pipe apart and NO, I don't want to use the leaf blower in the house....

Anything on the market with a very flexible 10 foot wand/rod? The stovepipe is 3". What are you using? Thanks!

the Rutland Co makes a brush that does double duty to clean pellet vent and your dryer vent...available in 3" and 4" diameter brush heads with flexy fiberglass rod...works ok. ~$25 retail with 10' rod attached.

What Delta-T said.

The Rutland Vent Brush is what I used on my 3" 13' vertical stack.

I have to get a 4" version for the new setup.

Not sure if recommended by Manufacturer, but I have attached it to an 18Volt Dewalt battery drill and really polished my pipes

my linteater came today. I saved about $12 shopping on Amazon. no shipping fee etc. Came in 4 days. I bought a dryer lint brush for $10 at Lowes, but could have bought it on Amazon for less than half that. Just adding to my arsenal of cleaning tools.

Hello

Why not take out the 90 degree bend and put a T with a cleanout cap??

I did that and it is sooooooooo much easier now On the chimney stove I added a double T -- wicked easy now!!

When did you add the other Double-T Don??

I thought you had one on your system? Or did you have 2?

I only see one double T.

I only see one double T.

Yep... Got me... Only one...

Just wondering when he added it. Because he has stated having a smaller fire on certain heat settings? Maybe there is an airflow problem??

Could be completely unrelated? But......... ;-P

Right. Alot of dead ends there in one little area.

Is the EVL the same for tee's and 90's?

Hi Dexter

Yes I did add the one double-T last fall before the small flame problem
See https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/71955/

Thanks for thinking about that, but the fire seemed fine after I added it for a couple months.

When I lubed the auger bushing it was much better. There are alot of dead ends but would that cause a drafting problem if the dead ends are tight and no air leaks??
