Cleaning a flue from the bottom up · review
A made-in-USA bundle for 8 inch square masonry flues, with a tempered steel brush and six fiberglass rods.
Midwest Hearth bundles an 8 inch square wire brush with six 3 foot fiberglass rods.
A round brush leaves the corners of a square tile dirty.
Sweep with the stove cold, seal the opening so soot stays out of the room, and wear a mask and eye protection. A kit does not replace a professional inspection: NFPA 211 is the US standard for chimneys, and a CSIA-certified sweep can check what a brush cannot.
