After I got full throttle on the 3 year plan, started noticing how little I would get from the chimney. Hopefully I don't get razzed for it, but I don't sweep once a season anymore. Normally an every other year job. I severely dislike doing it also.
I am considering doing the same thing since I have never got a lot of ash out of the pipe when cleaning it. That 3 year plan just makes sense. Thanks Backwoods Savage
