Chimney sweeping

[Eric in Kinburn]

Hi,

I'm just curious as to how often most of you sweep the evaporator's smoke stack?
This will be my second year using this setup and I'm debating whether or not I should sweep it before starting this year's run.

Thanks,
Eric

I can usually get a foot of flame to shoot out the stack when I really get the rig rolling after a few hour boil so i'm pretty sure theres no need for a sweep!

let's see.... I've been using my 3x10 for 21 years and I have cleaned it a total of zero times.

Thanks guys. That's what I figured, but just wanted to make sure.

Cheers,
Eric
