How often do you guys brush the chimney?
Last season (my first with a wood burner) I brushed it monthly on the recommendation of a friend.
I would get a decent amount of dry, flaky creosote out of it. I have 18 feet of chimney, and would get maybe a quart or so on each brushing. However, that year I was using some pretty wet wood before the season ended.
This year I am burning MUCH drier wood, and I would anticipate needing less brushing.
I guess I would feel better knowing what some others are doing.
Thanks;
