Do you still need to hire a chimney sweep or DIY every so often? For example once every three cords versus the old one rick clean.

I clean my chimney once a year, however, I don't burn the stove 23/7. After using this product, the chimney cleaned well enough so that I could seen the masonry brick. Although generally I am very pleased with this product, I would not feel comfortably just relying on this.

If you are burning dry wood and use this twice a month you don't need to clean the chimney until the end of the burning season. I do mine myself and there isn't much there at all

The type of stove I have keeps all the heat in the stove, so the chimney stays cooler than most.....with this product, using dry seasoned wood I run a brush up the chimney in the fall just before using my stove(very little build up) for the season. my stove burns about 20 hours per load of wood . so every other load I sprinkle a small scoop over the wood - seems to work fine except for the cost.

I clean mine once a year, but run fire hotter than most. don't really believe in the air-tite belief. When you burn that way you get twice the buildup in your chimney. At any rate may very well save you from a fire, pretty cheap insurance!

I sweep it myself.. dust baby dust. The chimney used to look like black shiny tar. After using this stuff nothing in the chimney, amazing !! I highly recommend it. The stove now puts out twice the heat and no more smoke out the door. I burn 24/7, it heats my whole shop 5600 sq ft. I burn 30-35 cords a season. I sweep it 3-4 times between oct-march.

I clean my chimney after less than a cord of wood and use the Meeco's as directed. Always better safe than sorry.

I do each time. It's harmless. Also, I have cleaning tips should you purchase a smoker.

The container suggests the amount and how often. I on the other hand, (newer air-tight wood burning stove) add a little (just a little) each fire, when it's roaring. AS long as you are burning pine HOT you shouldn't have have a problem. I switched from hard wood to pine two years ago, and still have a sparkling clean chimney and stove each inspection...and have it cleaned each year as well.

Yes use a vacume cleaner depends on how much use . May be replace once a year.

Well, yeah, that's the basic idea. If the chimney is that clogged you should consider first having it cleaned by a chimney sweep. This product dries the creosote and turns it to a powder that doesn't burn. Some of what collects around the chimney cap may fall to the outside, but some will undoubtedly fall down the pipe on the inside. This product is not a substitute for proper maintenance. Use as directed after the chimney is clean to keep it that way.

No, I bought the rapidfire chimney started to go with it. The propane started would be very handy though.

If you are not a regular do it your selfer then it's a bit difficult. The instructions have no words just a few pictures so you have to figure it out. In the end I still say it's worth the time.

I do .I have no problems with it afterwards. I clean it out real good after I get done with it.

Mine few over cord I accidentally leave out just fine. I think there are even sensors designed to stop the brushes and just drive over the cords without trying to suck them up.

It's the electricity that needs to be upgraded. You need an electrician more. Plumber is handy but exactly needed.

Nancy I'm assuming you mean on a gas stove? If so than yes. I do this everyday. If you mean over something wood fired, like a camp fire, than I would be hesitant.

Yes, I do. Only thing is to be sure and buy replacement sponge heads though. They work great, but fall apart easily. I tend to reserve this mop for either light, daily wipe downs (thereby not creating too much friction, etc. that scrubbing will produce).... OR....for exceptionally hard-to-clean areas (such as garages, painted walls, and so forth). In this scenario, I always make sure to buy a case of them...12 or so... to account for the "falling apart easily" aspect. Overall, I find these to be downright amazing. No matter which way you choose, though, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Hope this helps! Yes, I do. Only thing is to be sure and buy replacement sponge heads though.

No. As for me, I'd rather wind the cord by hand anyway. I've seen too many vacuums with broken retractors and coils of cord stacked on the front.

Yes, but isn't easily remove or install. You would want to do it on a daily basis.

I sweep once a week. Charge less the once a month. Depends on size of rooms and how often you use the sweeper. Last a good amount of time.

Not really. Only if you don't clean it out on a timely manner. It was a worthwhile buy got my needs.
