I looked down it yesterday with a flashlight. It had a very, very thin
coating of creosote on the liner (less than paperthin). I could scrape
it off with my fingertip). No blackages whatsoever.

Does this warrant cleaning? Pls dont give me the Chimny sweeps of
America usual line. Does it REALLY need sweeping?

Given the fact that you were looking down, that means you were on the roof.
If you had a brush and rods it would have been done in 15 minutes. You are
probably OK for a while, but why not invest $25 to $50 and do it yourself?


Good point. It takes almost as much time to clean
it as it does to get up there and look. And
cleaning the stuff that falls down into the insert
is simple and fast.
