Having a bad day

I'm in the 'burn it out' camp. But if you are not wanting to fill your house with smoke, how about going up on the roof with a piece of oily rag, light that and drop it down the chimney. Mind you, if your liner is knackered and this starts a fire in the chimney, that could end up being not at all pretty... But then I guess the same goes for any of the burning options.

Borrow another one push your one up and out. Failing that do you have a relative with very small child.

i would say burn baby burn!!! but if u have an alloy push fit pole set with a hook or lopper head get that up there

[danroker1987]

hah i remember my step fathers dad tellin me about the time he got him to clean the chimney he put so many poles on it created an arch over the main road hahah

Go for the burn, climb on the roof with a fairy bottle full of petrol diesel mix squirt one off and drop a match down!!

We always tye a rope on as we have flues that are is 12" and 10" wide and 100' long (4floors) so ia just happy that a step ladder is only needed to get on to the roof.

 

ps burning would not work if it got stuck as the brush is steel.

With an old wire coat hanger form it into an arrow shape. attach to rods push it up the wire will give enough to push past the brush then slowly pull down, just make sure you try to keep the rounded edges on the arrow shape so that it doesn't catch on the ribs of the liner

Bloke i live with did this once, I got up on roof and pushed it down with another brush. Personally i wouldnt be in the burn it out club but each to there own. Hope u get it out ok.
