Chimney Inspection
Wood moisture, wood species, the combustion quality, are
some factors that can influence creosote buildup speed into
chimney and chimney connector.
The chimney and the chimney connector must be inspected at
least one every two month during the warming season or more
depending of your installation. You can call a Chimney
sweeper to evaluate the creosote formation or you can do it
yourself by extinguish the wood stove, wait for cool down. Then
unscrew the chimney connector and inspect the chimney
connector and the factory build chimney with a spot light to see
if a creosote buildup as occurred. For a masonry chimney
insert a mirror in the cleanout opening at the bottom at the
bright day. For an outdoor factory build chimney open the cap
at the bottom of chimney.
A 1/8 inches (3 mm) or more creosote buildup, smaller
apparent diameter and if you cannot see the chimney cap. It’s
a sign that is time to sweep your chimney connector and your
chimney to remove creosote.
Chimney Sweeping
Chimney Sweeping need a special tool like some fiberglass rod
an adapted diameter brush and some rope
Sweeping chimney also requires to climb on the roof to remove
the chimney cap and sometime a too high chimney section too.

by NFI in United States.
