The Michael Jackson look of white socks with your loafers…as you sweep your chimney ….just the extra touch that made me laugh. You are an odd bird BR, but that is the fun of watching your channel. You do drop good knowledge to boot!
I worked as a chimney sweeper for a year after I left the military and before I became a faller. The two most important things for keeping a stove and chimney in good condition is dry wood and burning it hot. Thats it. It makes an insane difference and Ive cleaned out buckets of solidified tar/kreosote thats like glass from chimneys where they fail in one or both of these things. There are other things as well to make it even better but always remember: DRY and HOT! Great job Buckin!! Cheers from Sweden.
Right on video: these dead coals are the equivalent of the commercially available charcoal briquets sold to use in barbeque setups. Leave them in the firebox and shove them to the side and remove the ashes instead. I don't ever use paper to start my next fire, I just place my kindling on top of these coals and hit them with a propane torch for a minute or two and I have a roaring hot fire in just a few minutes. Good tutorial video. Thanks!
Hey Bukn they sell a product call "wet and forget" for your roof it kills the moss. You can buy the concentrate i dont recomend buying the diluted premixed its a rip off. Anyway you mix this concentrate i believe its a 5:1 and spray it on your roof where the moss grows with a pump sprayer and you just leave it on there and it kills the moss in a few weeks. Do it in the spring just not on a sunny day it is also non toxic. Works amazing
I can remember back till I was 8 years old ,,are chimney sweep had a rope tied on each end ,I'd be inside the house and dad would be up on the roof ,and no matter how hard i would try to stay clean id end up with soot all over me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but its nice looking back at the simpler times in life ,great memories
Burning dry wood, burning hot is the only way to go. Dunno if it's available in Canada, but I use a creosote remover powder by Rutland as well- As you said, Buckin', for times when stove's shut back, burning low. A scoop once or twice a week keeps my two story masonry chimney clean, haven't needed to brush it out for nearly thirty years. The powder crystalizes sticky creosote into black sand, falls into cleanout. I pull my stovepipe once each winter, inspect, brush, good to go.
Love your messages of being kind letting people in front of you and so forth. Here in Ohio I do that even when few others do the same, it's who I am as a humble, caring person. Love from Ohio!!!
Buckin, I'm going to share this to the community just because theres no reason to be stingy with helpful tips and that I appreciate what you, Tinman, Donnie, Harvey and others do for us. I did this year ago having to do chimneys by myself. Buy a tee packs of air hose quick connectors that fit the thread of your cleaning rods, teflon tape the threads and put the male/female connectors on your rods accordingly. This will make it alot easier instead of all those rods dangling up in the air. Tale them off and put them on as needed. God Bless.
Nice wood stove...wish i had one, maybe before I'm 80. Got the rhyming words for "problems" "Solve em" Your tin can bongo piece is a moment of fine percussion creativity.
Billy , look’s like a Hearthstone soapstone stove. I have a Woodstock soapstone stove in upstate Ny. We burn the stove warm to hot around the clock and usually end up with a gallon or two of creosote dust at the end of the burn season . Great video !
Wether its a hot stove or a hot billet, perhaps a hot day... always a great day to spend time with Buckin! thanks for bringing us along on the cleaning, amazing that's all you got after almost 2 years of burning. The billet at the end is massive! for The wood bullet! woo hoo! Have a good one buddy! MAGKD!
Hey Buckin nice vid good advice all around and GREAT message and drumming at the end. Take care and shout out to all the soldiers of kindness out there… world might need us just now!
The old stove at my aunt's in MI used to coke up a chimney so bad. We'd take the cap off in the spring and burn it in a barrel of paper and cardboard to get it clean. These new stoves are incredible!
Hey Buckin, thanks to your advice and tips over the years I've fixed up a Husky 141 with an Oregon speedcut 15" bar and chain, works like a charm. Working my way up to using my Dad's Husky 560xpg to cut up logs to size ready to go through our firewood processor this spring/summer. Hope to clear the yard!
Thank you so much for sharing!! Just got my Buck stove right before thanksgiving holidays. Still trying to learn my way around without burning my house down. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
I enjoy how you combine philosophy and work - a physical meditation being one with your tool, at home in the moment. I envy your winters, they look pretty mild. Greetings from Chicago.
That's a very clean stove pipe! IMPRESSIVE. (This is my wife's account. Been watching for years, but I'm not into tech stuff. Thus I highjack hers, lol) I've seen guys that burn the "other wood species" and it usually looks like they have stalagmites growing off the inside of their chimney. My story: All for nothing. I bought a fancy flexible chimney stick and a spinning brush. It hooks on to a cordless drill to spin if you desire. I built my stove pipe with a clean out trap at the bottom. Its a out-n-up pipe. Again, all for nothing. I HAVE NOT CLEANED MY STOVE PIPE IN well this will be my 10th burn season. It NEVER needs it. Clean as a whistle. Burn HOT is key. Early on I didn't know what was going on or why it was staying so clean. Burn hot with seasoned wood. I don't say this lightly and it's wise to closely monitor the build up in your chimney,but we burn very seasoned hardwoods, Oak, Hickory, (even beech,maple and ash) I was told about a product that is a powder too. I put a scoop of the stuff into my hot fire (good coal bed too) and it also promotes flaking and burn off of any starting buildup. Use it once and awhile. the tub has lasted us 5+ years. Other than that i'm just sold on burning hot. Small amounts of wood and more air if you want to not roast yourself out. Also I just let my fire burnout over night. I enjoy starting fires as well as cutting kindling. Never a shortage there. I just use a long stem match and the kindling. Never use papers or fire starters. I plan on pulling off my inside pipe and checking it after we are done with our shoulder season. I'm convinced a hot fire is the reason. (that and quality seasoned wood) Qudrafire step top stove for anyone curious.
Doesn't matter if I need a little heat or a lot of heat, I ALWAYS burn a hot fire and when starting a fire its always full throttle until the chimney system and stove are all good and hot. The great thing about these soapstone stoves, is that you can burn a FAST HOT fire in them with a small fuel load, and they release the heat from that fast hot fire slowly over many hours even after the fire has burned out. That little tribute has as much thermal mass as a 450lb iron stove so it will retain a ton of heat! The manual for our Mansfield recommends burning the stove at full throttle 25-30 minutes, once every day that the stove is used to keep things clean! It's very good advice. Keeps the glass, inside of stove, and cats nice and clean and safe! I burn mostly ponderosa and some of it is very pitchy so we do get some sooty stuff in the chimney. Most of it is that fluffy stuff that doesn't contain much energy but sometimes there's a thin bit of crusties up near the top. I sweep 2-3 times a season. A small stove burning hot is generally safer than a big stove choked way down.
Good stuff, Buckin! I use the char chunks to light my stove; just hit the chunks with small propane torch for a second. They start glowing immediately, add a little draft, and it's off to the races.
Thanks for bringing us into your home🙂you’ve got some nice burning wood in yer back yard! I’ve got to sweep 2/3 times a winter😅 don’t seem to matter how seasoned my wood is. Aspen and birch just ain’t as nice as fir👍
Always enjoy watching your vids 😉. To clean the glass easily, I use wet kitchen towel and dip it into the ash. Then wipe the glass, it works a treat!! No chemicals or hardly and cost.
Thanks for the video. I also burn hot. For those wanting less heat simply use less wood but more air. I chimney sweep yearly and get about a 3/4 litre of creosote from a 16' x6'' pipe.....happy burning !
Hey Buckin, thanks for the video brother! I have over 30’ of pipe on a 6 and 12 metal roof I have to clean it from the bottom with a drill and many extension rods. I do it once a year and we burn 7-9 cords Of Doug Fir, Alder and Maple here in Oregon! Love you bro!☮✌🏻
I may be tue exception, Billy. When I built my small home, I built in a wood chimney. R-62 in the attic. In the woods, and almost no wind, I top off my 500 LP tank in the summer, once a year here in northern Indiana. I calculated my btu usage for Jan, and Feb, and came up with 9,400 but/HR. My stove at smolder, will take the house over 100f. I'm keeping the stove for power out scenarios. Am considering one of those mini stoves.☺
Good man cleaning your chimney Buckin’! Good message about using good wood and burning it hot for less creators build up. We roll on far too many chimney fires around here. ;)
Back in around 1978, I built a Stove for my 2-story home out of a 16" Pipe with 1/4" Wall, 20" long. Top Horizontal exhaust with a 1/4 PL Baffle in front of (inside) the opening. 23' tall Flue with Spark Arrester around the Cap of 1/8" square holes. I would watch that Spark Arrester with the Binocs about once a month, figuring that if my Flue needed sweeping, the holes would get round. They never did. After about 5 years, I got a Brush & swept the flue till it was shiny. I got about 1/8 cup of light tan dust. I don't believe a modern stove, even with the phony catalist will run that clean. Bonus: a Round Stove needs NO Fire Bricks, as the welds heat evenly & will not split like a Box Stove eventually will. It will put out a BUNCH more heat, too. Your stove obviously runs pretty clean. Good info.
Well I remember the stove cleaning and chimney sweepin from 2 years ago. Hard to believe. Love ya brother always a great video and thanks for sharing your love and experience with us
Well at least I know how to clean mine now good video course this year we've been burning a lot of wet wood so I'll definitely have to clean ours this summer
Hey billy. My grandfather is havin surgery today and worried. He’s 88 years old, and he’s the reason I been cuttin wood all my life. He’s all I got left. Say a prayer for Charlie for me plz, I’m not as good at this stuff like you are. Thank you
I just had a chimmey fire last nite scared me to death. I'm scared to run my stove now. But my house is drafty. And the house runs off oil heat at 5.75 a gallon. I have been running an all nighter giant moe for 20 years with no problems before this incident. I had a stove pipe replaced last year and they advised I run a damper in my chimmey pipe. And against my better judgment I agreed.I never had these problems before.I love heating my house with wood but now I'm worried.I live at home with my parents and my austic niece. I could not live with myself if I killed someone or burnt my parents house down. Everyone be safe burning your stoves. And hopefully we can put an end to price gouging on fuels.
Buckin is a man who takes extreme pride in a clean chimney. Me personally, I consider creosote and alternative fuel source. When the smoke backs up into the house it's time to give her a clean, until then, keep on smokin'. LOL, Just kidding, the decals believe in dry wood, and a hot fire. The only thing that would have made this video better is if Buckin would of wore one of those old chimney sweep top hats. Love to all!
I went to that buckin stock in union Michigan man what a great time and what an experience, I was really sad when It was time to go like I didn't want to leave
Great video. Very true about burning your stove / furnace hot, just let it rip and your stove will never have problems! Do the stove fan you have do any good? Thinking about gettin' one myself.
I see those old 1 and 2 man crosscut saws around the homestead. Any of them sharp and ready for some elbow grease like the good old days for felling a tree?
Good draft, well seasoned firewood and a hot fire tend to prevent creosote build up. Green wood and smoldering fires are dangerous. I don't think the brownish stuff you got out is nearly as dangerous as the thick black residue that almost needs chipping to remove.
I think you should clean it once a year weather it needs it or not. If nothing else it allows you to look thing over. A piece of cardboard a day is advice I got from an older guy once. The heat from cardboard goes to chimney so don't do it if you need to clean but after you clean. Let's keep wood burning safe. I like how you show the brushing. It doesn't take long. I also have a hand wire brush wired to a broken handle to reach it and clean a horizontal piece where I go through the wall.
when you pulleed your damper, what fell down? that is one of teh advantages of a straight up pipe. versus up and horizontal to a chimney and up again. mine almost doesnt need cleaned like yours , except a little fly ash . that will collect in the horizontal pipe. but i burn from halloween to easter. maybe 10 cords
Like your straight shot insulated chimney pipe, your easy clean demo and tip to burn hot with dry wood to minimize creosote in chimney. With the 1/4 inch steel plate replacement damper you made, do you just use it to open/close damper, or do you adjust the damper opening size depending on how fast you want to burn?
Tooling looking good maybe for next winter preheat billets with wood than finish in gas . Seem like an abundance of wood up there. And you can hear shop ... Can u get coal?
Hay there mister bunk Billy love your stuff man. But just wanted to know if you go camping in the woods do you take a power saw or one of the new battery powered saws sow that you dont make lots of noise
I had a friend that his excuse was it would burn too much wood, he had tar creosote run out several times all over the floor but he would never listen. A wood stove technician told him the same and he still didn’t heed the advice. He removed his wood burner and put in a rice coal furnace and is not happy with it, just won’t listen to anyone who has any experience with much anything. Blessings brother.
Hey Billy . This Black pipe is a single pipe or stainless steel is inside ? I wanted to use single black pipe buy was told that this gets rusty and I might burn the house down .
Stage 3 creosote in the top end of the chimney. Any recommendations of how to clean it out? I don't want to attempt to burn it out, since this is a 2 story house. 7" x 7" Clay Liner. Appreciate any tips. Considering PCR.

A Galvanized Ridge Cap will do a great job on moss.
Moss doesn’t like soot!
The guy that soft wash my house use it on my roof.
Thanks for the help buckin

Nice job on the chimney. Looking forward to seeing some Buckin Damascus Axe heads. Put me down for a couple. 👍🍻
Loved hearing the hummingbird when you were putting together the sweep.

Wet newspaper dipped in ashes when rubbed on the inside of the glass will take the char right off of it .... works great.....clean as a whistle

Love it Buckin!
Thank you Billy Ray!!!
Also I love your power saws old school all the way cool man and the view from your rooftop is sow nice
Nice stove Billy! I get a gallon of ash about every 10 days, burning 24/7. They call them rocky things clinkers.
you got it
I have a Voda brand wood stove fan similar to the one you have. Moves a lot of air for no electricity 👍 👌
Window cleaner and a newspaper work good for cleaning the glass on woodstoves
First time Iv not seen you in boots my friend much love

I just had a chimmey fire last nite scared me to death. I'm scared to run my stove now. But my house is drafty. And the house runs off oil heat at 5.75 a gallon.

I went to that buckin stock in union Michigan man what a great time and what an experience, I was really sad when It was time to go like I didn't want to leave
hello folks an Billy hope all is well u and everyone. stay safe be kinda be proud be free and have a amazing day 😊👍
Great video. Very true about burning your stove / furnace hot, just let it rip and your stove will never have problems!
Do the stove fan you have do any good? Thinking about gettin' one myself.
WOW Billy My wife would have killed me if I didn't shut the door while cleaning it.
If you take wet paper towel and put ash on it works amazing to Cleen the glass on your wood stove. Ps love peace and power saws
I see those old 1 and 2 man crosscut saws around the homestead. Any of them sharp and ready for some elbow grease like the good old days for felling a tree?
Need to have Buckinstock closer to home....that's our two cents worth...❤️
IM SURE WE WILL
When we had a big ingle nook we used to drop a couple of chickens down to clean the chimney
Gotta love that radiant heat coming off a stove on cold days.
Good draft, well seasoned firewood and a hot fire tend to prevent creosote build up. Green wood and smoldering fires are dangerous. I don't think the brownish stuff you got out is nearly as dangerous as the thick black residue that almost needs chipping to remove.
I think you should clean it once a year weather it needs it or not. If nothing else it allows you to look thing over. A piece of cardboard a day is advice I got from an older guy once.

I also have a hand wire brush wired to a broken handle to reach it and clean a horizontal piece where I go through the wall.
Hey buckin, that's a really nice little stove. Could you tell me who manufactures that thing?
My wood stove vents into a clay liner chimney, stainless steel chimney will have less creosote good job!BBRS
My wood burner will keep my house at 90⁰f when its 32⁰f. 32f=0c.
Allows you to open the windows and get some fresh air in the house
I burn nothing but madrone, it always burns down to a super fine powdery ash. I love that stuff
Always good to have a clean stove and chimney. Is that a soapstone wood stove? Has a good draft you could see the dust going up. Being kind Buckin
RITE ON MARTO
when you pulleed your damper, what fell down? that is one of teh advantages of a straight up pipe. versus up and horizontal to a chimney and up again. mine almost doesnt need cleaned like yours , except a little fly ash . that will collect in the horizontal pipe. but i burn from halloween to easter. maybe 10 cords
I remember that paper bag in the 2020 video!✌😁
Ah yes very nice bud and reminder I need to do mine as well come to think I don't believe I did mine last year either oops
Is that a hearthstone soap stone stove? I've been using one for 32 years.
Do you recommend burning the chimney sweep logs to deal with creosote?
Like your straight shot insulated chimney pipe, your easy clean demo and tip to burn hot with dry wood to minimize creosote in chimney. With the 1/4 inch steel plate replacement damper you made, do you just use it to open/close damper, or do you adjust the damper opening size depending on how fast you want to burn?
NO SIR IT IS STATIONARY
Tooling looking good maybe for next winter preheat billets with wood than finish in gas . Seem like an abundance of wood up there. And you can hear shop ... Can u get coal?
Hay there mister bunk Billy love your stuff man. But just wanted to know if you go camping in the woods do you take a power saw or one of the new battery powered saws sow that you dont make lots of noise
A thought for your intro video you made: include where you come out of the pile of axe handles, and the clog dance.
The triple wall pipe must be a little better insulated than flue tiles and blocks?? I never have that little dust!
I had a friend that his excuse was it would burn too much wood, he had tar creosote run out several times all over the floor but he would never listen. A wood stove technician told him the same and he still didn’t heed the advice. He removed his wood burner and put in a rice coal furnace and is not happy with it, just won’t listen to anyone who has any experience with much anything. Blessings brother.
Hey Billy . This Black pipe is a single pipe or stainless steel is inside ? I wanted to use single black pipe buy was told that this gets rusty and I might burn the house down .
8:30 when i have to cough in the middle of destroying a sleeve of oreos
I need to do this ASAP Bill. like yesterday
Buckin , you ever heard of a David Bradley saw? Let me know. Thanks
Thanks for watching this video of cleaning the cheminry good hand off work💯❤🗽
Thank you for the video
It looks like pellet stove ash. What brand stove is that? Looks nice with the soap stone an all.
Stage 3 creosote in the top end of the chimney. Any recommendations of how to clean it out? I don't want to attempt to burn it out, since this is a 2 story house. 7" x 7" Clay Liner.
Appreciate any tips. Considering PCR.
