This summer I installed a new Selkirk chimney. I noticed that they are not as thick-walled as the older ones. So I am wondering about creasote build up. Are the new thin walled chimneys as good as the old one's when it comes to build-up? I had to clean the old chimney once a month during winter as the pipe is going through three floors or about 30 feet. It is easy since I can push the brush up through the basement, so there is no need to go on the icy roof.
 
You are a little lost Bufford! But rest assured, you'll have to clean your chimney more often, for safety!!
Now have you got any nice slip joint knives to show us???

Yep I know, I finally figured out that new thread function, but I forgot to pick the right thread to put it in. Thats what happens when a person is new to computers. I enjoy Blade forums, but I will forever hate computers until they finally become something that is really truly a working machine. :mad: :grumpy: They are mearly in their infancy.

I can still feel the gentle warm glow of vacuum tubes from the simpler days of past.
 
My kids have to come over and solve all my computer problems! I can turn it on though!!

Some here will recommend scraping away the creosote build up with a Case CV stockman. I believe the job is much easier with one of the Queen canoes in D2.:D
 
Well good D2 will hold an edge longer, so I have to agree with you, Thomason. I wonder what kind of patina you get from scraping creosote :eek: ??
