    Well got some steady dry weather so decided to get up to the roof and clean the stove pipe. Did a quick sweep of it mid year and this is from I think December on. Some creosote on the cap and screen and about maybe the top 8 inches of pipe. Other then that looked really good to me.

    By all means let me know your thoughts. Might have burned 2 cords this first year.

    Again thanks for all the tips and pointers in my first year burning. Hopefully going to make some upgrades to the stove before next season.

    Right where I want to be.
    Brown and fluffy is good.
    There's probably some kind of joke in there............

    Looks good, especially for the first year.

    Nobody would complain about your sweep results. A small pile of powder and a little bit of creosote at the top, awesome...
