    Somebody got me a subscription to Northern Woodlands magazine! So now I might have half-a clue what I'm shredding. Wood ID, here I come!

    Had this really nice gift show up at the door.

    After reading about these things here, and watching my pro-chimney guy use one, I was considering buying one for myself.

    Thanks to my Secret Santa.

    That looks great! If I have to replace my LintEater, I would give this a whirl as the Linteater has trouble getting around my 90 deg and this looks like it would do that easily

    Santa has magic up his sleeve and knows all. Well, almost all.

    Rods aren't meant to go 90 degrees

    The soot eater head has a ball to help with angles, where the lint eater doesn't.

    With that said, my lint eater goes down all the stoves I clean. Including the 3" systems. I just trimmed about 33% of the longest bristles. Makes cleaning a snap.

    Cleaned my horribly blocked flue tile with the sooteater this summer. Did a good job for what I paid for it. Knocked 98% of the creosote off I bet and good for another year.

    The rods don't swap as easy as I'd like but sitting precariously up on a chimney 25 ft up nothing is as easy as on the ground.

    Well then, there ya go. I guess it would be a 2 step process with either unit. Not a big deal for that.

    I'm happy to see that the Secret Santa idea was successful. I'm truly impressed with the wide array of gifts that people came up with. A thank you goes out to everyone who participated and a thank you to Scotty and the rest of the site staff for allowing me to set it up.

    I'm looking forwards to next year.
