Serious question, is a 1 to 10 creosote scale actually useful or just a scare tactic?

Serious question, did I get hosed on that $70 creosote powder at the supply house in Albany?

Dropped $85 on a rotary chimney brush in Scranton and it ate a creosote glaze the flat wire brush barely touched

I finally stopped brushing cold flues after a 30 year sweep in Bangor told me to warm the masonry first

Hot take: creosote glaze is not a sweep problem, it is a wood problem, and I wasted 3 weeks brushing the wrong thing

The before and after on a 1920s bungalow flue in Dayton still has me laughing, 3 weeks later

Hot take: that wire brush on a drill is ruining your flue tiles, took me 7 years to figure out

Was sure the chimney camera was a sales gimmick until I found a nest 4 feet down on a job in Dayton
