[Hidden-tech] chimney sweep recommendation

[Matt Lampiasi]

I do mine as well, with probably the same kit Jim probably bought at 
Florence Hardware. I get on the roof to do mine, attach plastic bag to 
the flu liner in the fireplace if possible so all the soot can fall 
right into the bag. In my case theres a wood stove so I move the 
firebricks temporarily out of the way inside the stove, and place a 
bucket in the stove (and shut its door!) to catch the gunk. nasty business.
