So after paying a chimney sweep over $100 the last two years I bought my own flue brush and rods and did it myself this time. I sweep my stove pipe once a year and this is a picture of what came out in my stove. I am assuming this is acceptable but since I haven’t done it before I just wanted to get some input from you more experienced chimney sweepers. Is this an acceptable amount of ash and does it look ok?
Timberdog looks like a cup or 2.. Not bad.. I am not seeing and of the really black chunky creosote bits. Looks more like grey ash.. That's a good thing. Is your pipe clean??
