I work as a chimney sweeper in Sweden and I am a bit amazed you cleaned you chimney while the stove was open. I am from a town called Arvika and I had no idea that they used to make axes there before I watched your channel. Love your channel.
You are the pro and of course you are right. It makes no sense to let the stove open 😂. Only if you wanna show on camera whats happening inside while cleaning.
Love your axes Buckin , one day I'll be able to buy one , and I will make sure it's one of yours , you are a craftsman and a artisan when it comes to axes. God Bless You and Your Family. Love wins and Be Kind is my mottos now.❤
It's that time of year again brother! Glad to see you're going into winter with your shoulder not bothering you...... Positive thoughts for you that you keep healing and splitting wood to your hearts content!!! Brian
Billy Ray, thanks for sharing your life and experiences. I watch your channel because it's up beat and real. If I lived in your city, I would definitely make sure you were in my life. I surround myself with good people and work hard for them whenever they need a hand. I see you as a person who does the same. Keep spreading the love!
Stainless steel, double walled, insulated chimney pipe...Very nice. I've had the same for many years and it looks/works as good as when I installed it. P.S. Billy, When I started to learn to climb and cut, I watched your video on that before my first time, that video gave me confidence through your shared knowledge. Truly, thanks for that, it has added a whole new dimension to my felling skills.
I run my stove about 7-8 months per year, every day from November through March, the creosote I get out of my chimney looks exactly like the stuff you had, I get about a half of a 5 gallon pail worth. I agree 100% with you on burning hot, it’s safer than a smudge fire, I burn mostly hardwoods and a small amount of conifer. I use Creo-shot twice a week and it works very well. Great video. 👍🏻
Happy to see you swinging again thanks for all the tips especially on the 27 in bar on my 365 its a beast now I blasted through about 6 cord in no time now it's splitting time my favorite!!!!!!
Hey buck n J like the letter from manitoba. I heat with wood and do work in the industry great video. I see u have some moss on your roof. A copper wire Accross the top will eliminate that. The old lightning rod system with copper between had more than one job. One number 6 wire will tune that moisture holding moss right up
HI BUCKIN 😊😊 most people that use a chimney brush usually clean them.3 OR 4 times 2 make sure they are good and clean some stove wood that has some water 💦 😮in it U have 2 give the stove more air if U have good dry wood try 2 keep it dry and covered up and off the ground 2 keep dry any stove wood U cut this year won't be ready 4 the wood stove until next year it has 2 have time 2 dry out its better 2 cut and spilt any green wood the same time good sunshine ☀😊 and plenty of air will help it dry 😊😊 OMG 9 16 2O23
Hello Bumfuzz 🥸🤪 boy are the year’s flying bye 😊 I remember this job before but, I like to see it again. Not to much more & less chunky .😊Good job Buckin .! Say hello to your family,from Pokey bear 🐻 & G-man ! … I am loving your secret 🪓 too 😎 ❤ya
Hilarious! His Brother and I affectionately have called him Bumfuzz all his life. We have many nicknames for each other and I see it has continued on his site for all his fans.
I use to clean our chimney in Yellowpoint with a rock and a wire basket around it. Likety spit. A famous chimney sweep called Mr. Bubi showed me that trick. Now there was a character.
There’s a spray called Anti-Creosoot which is made of manganese. You spray it on the fire when it gets going and can even spray it directly on your wood. It transforms the creosote. It’s a good supplement to regular maintenance.
I do love the buckinisms...love when people are talking and working so energetically that they start to create their own language and it's possible to understand what they are saying, but anyone who is semantically challenged tend to scratch their heads more than not. 📝
Buckin that is one beautiful and deadly axe. Would LOVE to own it!! I must say when i seen the amount what came out your stove i laughed as i get about 10 times that from a year worth of birning! Great video ❤🏴👍
I changed the hat on my chimney this year. Breathes much better than the old one. That makes a big difference. Every now and then I tap the flue along the seam and it breaks all the tar and resin off. Then I crank the fire up hard to burn it off the baffle plate. In twenty four years I have never swept the chimney. When the baffle plate burned out I replaced it with a 10mm thick stainless one I got made up. It doesn't burn out or sag.
Hot fires and dry wood are the keys to success for not building creosote. Maintaining a consistent flue temp is key. Also if u are not a big fan of cleaning soot of yourself, rub your skin with Vaseline first , it will wash right off
Buckin of how many m² of wood was that approximately? My chimney also just done, but was 3 years ago....😅 much more ash so... It's an 11 meter pipe here too. Heavy work. Greetings kristof
My wife would kill me if I left the door open when I cleaned my stove. I do like your way of putting down paper in the stove, I've put a small bucket and it doesn't catch everything.
If you have an "efficient" fireplace (with the reburner tubes at the top), how do you get the ash out of it from the chimney? There is a steel plate that prevents access, so all the dust/ash would just land on it and then you can't access it.
I have one of those. I separate the stove pipe from the stove. Telescoping section. And brush from the bottom to top. I use a brush that connects to a drill. The head looks like a weed Wacker head, but with many strings. Works great. Good luck!
I would be interested to know how much of the build up was above the roof line ... I'm guessing well over half. Next season, if your old bones can manage two trips to the roof, set a marker tape on the rod so you know when the brush is just below the roof line, run it down that far and then inspect the droppings, then run the rest of the pipe.
I shut my stove down every couple weeks, stuff newspaper in the flue and light the chimney on fire. I closely monitor 5he chimney temp and add or subtract air to control the burn. All the ash falls into the stove. No more fear of chimney fires.
I’ve got a masonry chimney , much safer . And burn only dry wood , let the fire burn , let it have some air . Turning the draft off produces creosote . I Seldom clean the chimney , make shure the clean out in the bottom of the chimney is empty . 👍🇨🇦
I’ve never pushed the brush down the chimney… always in from the stove… with a plastic sheet over it… with a small slit in it… pushed it up… put the sections in a drill… and ran the up and down abit…
I don't know if i would do it with metal pipes, but if u have a normal masonry chimney, throw a powdered tea scoop full of rock salt in fire..powders it instantly
If your chimney is 25-30+ feet weld a washer on a pipe nipplel that fits the threaded end of the sweep. On the other end of the sweep is a ring. Tie a small rope on both ends with a 2” washer on the end. Drop ithe washer down the pipe into the stove. Have someone pull the washer end down you pull it back up. If you’ve used rods you know what happens on a tall chimney.
Maple gives a lot of ash and creosote lot of sugar in the wood Not burning wood any longer but I loved the dry oak good hot fire no ash no creosote Insurance company was a real pain got a wood stove setting in garage if the world gets any stupider We use an outdoor furnace at our church and it heat the chapel and the church school The teacher keeps the fire on and warm at Apsley community Chappel
Thats why cleaning yearly is the plan . Sugar Maple? burns nice with little ash. What about a screen on that pipe topper. Seen a guys roof get a big hole burned in it when he blew a big chunk out the top when firing it up.
That shingle-damaging moss on the roof? Equal parts bleach and water (mix and let sit for an hour), than spray it--it'll be gone, guaranteed. Also, we clean the pipe from the bottom up with one o' those fiberglass snapped-together rods with the brush cut to fit the diameter of the pipe. Clean as a whistle and don't have to climb up on the roof. Best to ya'.
I always use someone who is licensed and certified... Also keep my receipts from job being done ..Not sure what would happen if you have a bad enough chimney fire that you end up loosing the house ...You put in a insurance clam and they ask was the chimney cleaned...You say yes i did it ...They ask are you certified no....Claimed denied ..Again not sure if that's would happen but i am not taking the chance...insurance company's will use any loop hole..
Buckin, did you ever use the chunks of wood I sent you for wedges? If you did, how did you like it? I have more, but if you don’t like it, I’ll just get rid of it.
That's the easiest stove ive seen to clean buckin. I gotta take my pipe off at top of stove then I can ram it clean. My dad on the other hand has about 15 foot of pipe hes gotta take all the way out cuz it's got 2 bends he can't push the brush threw.
Ignorant question: when you say burn hot once or twice a day, do you mean even on the stove thermometer?? Like a small time period of the fire being in the “too hot” zone on the pipe thermometer??
Your burn pile had a dozen salmon packs of Lucky buried in it. Tell me your not back on the juice Buckin.....that's not looking good for your image my friend.
I burn nothing but bone dry hardwood and burn it hot all the time every year when I clean my chimney there is nothing to clean just a little bit in the chimney cap
Stage 1 -3 creosote. You got fine powder. You’re doin good.,but could be better. You do not want black rock candy or tar build up. When in doubt get a moisture meter
Buckin, I always appreciate the knowledge you share with us all. Thank you.
Work hard, be honest, be kind... Great words of wisdom! Thanks for all your videos.
Yer welcome
A must watch video for anyone using a wood stove. What you are showing is the results of a clean burning stove. 👍👍

Crazy timing this video ! I just cleaned out my stove pipe today 👍👍
вот же совпадение😂 я сегодня целый день чистил и замазывал раствором печь с дымоходом а тут мой Друг тоже трубочистом стал🎉
Love those axes you build!! Sometimes hard to find the splitting profile with the fatter cheeks!!
That axe is flippin gorgeous
LOVE every freekin thing about you friend great video
That nice of you to say 😊

Right on
ya it is time to get up on the roof and give er a brushing always feels good to clean it up kind of like changing oil in the truck just feels good.
Buckin great advice for the ones that just like to watch their 🔥 glow and don’t think about creosote ❤😊😮
Looking forward to seeing you in person again at Bunyan buddy. My son and I had such a winderful experience lastcyear.
Awesome David
Does the wood from conifers split easier than deciduouses?
Thanks for the info on the 500i pipe. Mark is a nice guy. We're gonna see what that pipe does at 9000ft with a bone stocker.
You bet

Is it ok to burn seasoned spruce in my woodstove? Everybody tells me no pine or you'll get a chimney fire. Appreciate the great videos.
Is the wood bullet factory still ongoing. What is the future of that?
Buckin of how many m² of wood was that approximately?
My chimney also just done, but was 3 years ago....😅 much more ash so...
It's an 11 meter pipe here too. Heavy work.

I clean my chimney every year and then burn a creosote log a couple times during the winter to help keep the chimney clean. We burn alot of white elm.

Am back in Quebec..now I split very hard wood..and my tassie 4.5 pounds is not anof anymore..
Need more weight ❤
