    Update: I got the Bluesea chimney sweep kit. It seems to be the same as the Sooteater (but cheaper @ $69). It worked great, but I accidentally chopped up some of the ceramic wool insulation when I got down to the firebox, as I had removed some of the fire bricks in order to remove the baffles. I’m ordering new insulation pieces.
    Pics of the creosote removed… E70D5BCB-0DF2-4FEA-9327-8AFD1955B60F.jpeg D3E6F80D-B636-41C0-996B-E48F5756B3BE.jpeg 23428EB7-3ADF-44E5-A85A-709153ED2948.jpeg

    Looks like you have been burning pretty clean actually because that , Doesn't really look like serious creosote build up there man, just brown sooty stuff, the dangerous creosote is black and shiny.
