This is what I've been using for the last 20 years.An old wire wheel mounted on a length or two of dowel. I join them with a short piece of pipe and two split pins. .W.
I bought a round wire chimney sweeping brush from the hardware store in leura and it works like a rifle pull through. I use an old tomahawk head as the weight, drop it down the flue and pull it through from the firebox after I remove the fire bricks. Works a treat.
Either that, or drop a live chicken down the chimney. Apparently they do a good job as they flap all the way down.
I'm sorry Frank, which data did I not respond to???
As for doing my own search:
Could you be getting confused with formalin - which is commonly used as a tissue fixative (preservative).Quote:
Your search found no records.
"autopsy AND formaldehyde AND pm2.5"
plus about 10 similar search strings. Which all reveal either no results of nothing remotely relevant
Hi , I know it's a bit off topic , but I would like to tell use about when I was a young Plumber in the UK. I used to install gas central heating . One house I worked on the boiler was to go in the old coal fireplace , so I blocked it up with the cardbord packing box , propped up . Then on to the double story roof to feed the 30ft stainless steel flue liner down the chimley . pushed it all the way down came off the roof , went into the lounge , and yes the carbord had fell over . There was soot every were , all over the lounge suite ,curtains wall every were . Thinking back I must have looked shocked /horiffied , at how I was going to explain this .Ah fond memorys ,jimr1:D:D

I don't think they make hiclones.
We had our flue cleaned just before winter & the sweep said because of the timber we're burning we'll be good for 4-5 years without a clean. I also use a product called "Sootloose" which supposedly cleanses the flue. Oh, timber I burn is black wattle, ironbark & grey gum which we luckily have in varying stages of seasoning (i.e. dead) on the property.
