Thread: Chimney brush advice wanted

When you do wrap the entire fire in an old sheet or drop cloth as that fine soot hoes everywhere one good thing is potbelly's don't get very dirty as they burn hot.
Also check the flue seam around the rear of the flue as they split quite often.

You can also get 'Soot Remover'; a chemical with(from memory) a salt base. Na3PO4 springs to mind. Chuck a handful on a fire and it breaks down the creosote buildup. Might work and stop you being medivac'd after a roof fall.

None of those are good for your fire and flue especially a salt based.

Just too correct a statement earlier it isn't a pot belly just has a dampener like one in a hut, it's an old pioner made from seriously thick steel and brass trimmings
