mick out of interest how do you clean the flue out do you use a sweep brush because i had a wood burner installed last winter and i havent and mine cleaned do you think it would be worth getting it down and it so how regular.

I just use a sweeps brush cos my mate gave it to me with a set of rods. The proper brush for stainless flues is made of copper I think. Anyhow we do ours about every 8 weeks.

 

Huck, yeah the bird would'nt have come down if the stove was alight but I doubt very much he would have survived for long after breathing all the fumes.

 

Stevie, it was a starling. He flew out and perched on a picture hanging on the wall, the wife just wanted it out cos she reckons their droppings stain the paintwork and I just wanted a pic of it. So I'm chasing it with the camera and she reckons I was like Cpl Jones........"Dont panic":laugh1:
