Un-insulated Stove Flue Inspection - tar / creosote ?

[@I2383R]

Blimy just taken out an uninsulated 904 flu and it has completely disintegrated, just about to fit another fingers crossed this one last longer than 7 years🤞👍

It looked like there were some small pits/holes developing in the ridges of the liner. Am I just imagining this? Maybe hard to see watching on a phone... Thanks for the videos. Very useful as considering whether to bother insulating the flue liner we'll be putting in. It's an exterior wall but cavity is insulated so I can't imagine it would get that cold.

Welcome back. Long time no see/hear. Hopefully there will be more videos to come.

Thanks for your videos very helpful. I have done some on cycling and other things. It helps when you explain so much!

Cool video. I liked it a lot

Nice to know there is no tar buildup. My register plate has cracked (stove installer used 5mm board instead of 12mm) and all the vermiculite is falling out. I aim to replace the plate with a steel one and not put the insulation back again.

I will rarely insulate an interior chimney, because it’s insulated enough from the house itself, especially when there’s existing tile. On an exterior chimney, 95% of the time I will put insulation around the liner, because the chimney is to cold.

How long has the liner been there also how often do you sweep the chimney

[@idostuffcouk]

12 year it has been in at the time of recording and I think it was two years since it was last swept.
