Thumbnail looked like deep sea crabs 😅

[@Joe_n_Sarah]

My thoughts exactly lol I was kind've confused 😕🤔😅

[@eveadame1059]

🦀The Sea crab looking thing, is what got me to click on this video

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

Or a crazy looking spider. 🕷

[@rhondahuggins9542]

Having not only cleaned my own...have experienced a creosote ignition! Don't miss the labor and mess of maintenance.

[@ChimneyMonkey]

Chimney fires are very common - we see them all the time 🤷‍♂️

[@tweetg1]

Looks like a lot of work as well as alive and dead creatures sometimes being found I’m sure.Great job sir because I cant and won’t😂🤷🏾

[@ChimneyMonkey]

Yep. Dead animals are very common. That’s why proper cap is very important 👍

[@garywhite2050]

[@user-rb1nu4vs5s]

Can a poly dryer vent brush be used to clean stainless steel chimney liner?

[@ChimneyMonkey]

Dryer vent brush is probably way too small for a fireplace flue. It needs to be the size of the flue to brush all sides

[@luarmusic7]

Eso como lo hacen?

[@dominic6055]

You said the mortar of the chimney joints come off, how do u seal them again?

[@anotherhuman21]

I'd assume either you go in there to apply mortar or demo

[@randyrandom5702]

A company called saver systems offers a product called heat shield. Its a masonry slurry applied to the inside of the chimney with a foam pulling head. They have photos on the website. It requires professional tools.

[@thegreatwhite75]

And then the joints come out again & you're back to square one. No thanks! Reline it with a stainless steel liner.

[@CP-pf6gx]

@@thegreatwhite75 Yeah but if you go with a liner, you have to install a fireplace insert as well, which is pretty costly. A conventional fireplace cannot accept a liner alone, that doesn't make code since there is no approved adapter to the get the liner sealed with the damper. Also that would eliminate the smoke chamber.

[@thegreatwhite75]

@@CP-pf6gx Wrong. You don't necessarily "HAVE" to have a fireplace insert......"PROVIDED".... you can fit a big enough liner down the flue to vent it for use as a conventional fireplace. The liner stops at the bottom of the flue tiles/top of the smoke chamber, then fireproof insulation is stuffed up between the liner & tiles, along with mesh to close off the gap & to hold the poured in insulation that is poured down from the top. Then the smoke chamber is recoated/shaped right up to the bottom of the liner. Then a top sealing damper & you're good to go. Although a GOOD insert with a full, insulated, stainless steel liner WOULD be MY preference.....so that you can actually keep your heat in the house vs losing all your heat up & out the chimney with a conventional fireplace. But it all depends on what people want. Some people only want their fireplace for the ambiance.

[@trumpsagenius6914]

Tidbit of info most flu liners are dry stacked from the git

[@ChimneyMonkey]

Sadly it’s the case.

[@Jr-fc6kf]

Why is freddy Krueger there 2.03

[@davidharris3915]

Very old fashioned way of cleaning a flue system, tiles, or stainless steel .

[@ChimneyMonkey]

Is there an easier way?

[@stuartAF888]

St🫠pid!!!
