    Cleaned the entire furnace, stovepipe and chimney out today, just a reminder.
    Nothing in it but fluff top to bottom.

    We've got a couple more days to burn, then it's system maintenance time.

    So, someone's bound to bring up the lack of pictures, but I believe you. :whistle::D
    Still using mine. I'll wait a bit longer.

    Good burning practices right down to the seasoned wood!

    Still burning here , to chase off the chills.

    Woodstove and chimney, will be cleaned out in a couple of months.

    There's some gasket material hanging down into the firebox that'll need to be cemented back in place. I'll deal with that when I unbolt the stove top, and remove it to access the cat for cleaning.

    Summer cleaning usually happens here during mid summer. Never plan on not burning until about mid-May. Sometimes later.

    Same here. I know we burned the first week of June last year.
    Yesterday was the first full day with out any burn since probably October.

    I was literally black from my shoulders to my fingertips and wasn't about to play photographer..LOL. Even my face was black and the water running out the tub during my shower after was black.
    This is the job I hate the most when it comes to home maintenance but I'm probably good til November or so now.

    Yeah, I love it when I'm pulling the brush out of the pipe, and a little wind blows that fine dust right smack into my face.
    Not. :rofl: :lol:
