    Is it time to clean the chimney flues?

    Thanks very much for all the feedback! I don't know anything about this equipment, and have had very little time up to now to learn about it. I'll have to find out what kind and size of brush is right for the main wood furnace flu, then probably I'll be OK with tackling it. Pipe is 7...

    Is it time to clean the chimney flues?

    BTW, here is a look down the 'woodstove' flue - looks relatively clean, and we're not likely to use it more than once or twice this year ( only if there is a power outage...) I'm not really happy with that thin corrugated liner, but I guess we're stuck with it for now. I have to...

    PowerSharp!!!!

    Hi all - and THANKS - this thread has been very helpful for me. Total chainsaw noob here - bought an Echo 370 at HomeDepot, which seemed to come with the dullest, sloppiest OEM chain ever. Read the books, watched manufacturer's videos, set up the thing meticulously, carefully tightened as...
