cleaning chimney with fireworks

I experimented with this about three years ago, and it works great. First start with some fountains, that have a high sulfur content, these burn hot and emit a shower of sparks. The sulfur also loosens the creosote from the chimney wall. Then finsh with a small cake or 8-10 rockets to finish blowing the debris from the chimney. It makes a nasty looking mess in the snow, but the neighbors look forward to the show about every 6 weeks.

To me this isn't a very safe practice if you have to do it every 6 weeks, as a masonary contractor and bulit many fireplace chimmeys I would not rcomend it, somebody is right this belongs on the rednck thread BIGH

Doesn't this topic belong on a 'Redneck' thread???

screw the fountains and rockets, just shoot a couple of 3" mortars up there

Beep Beep Beep. County paging Puhdunk Fire and Rescue to 1313 Duffas Ln. for a structure fire with injuries. Explosions reported by neighbors. Officer on scene reports Green Smoke, requesting HAZMAT. Chief 1 confirms Green Smoke, ordering Evacuation to 1 Mile, structure totally engulfed. Engine 1 to stay back, up wind, do not approach until sources of Green Smoke are identified.

Shouldn't this be on the redneck thread?....You know if you are a redneck if you clean your chimney with fireworks.

This would be interesting to see, but NOT at my house!! Let's plan a party at your place on the 4th of July, then lets say.....how 'bout Thanksgiving? Fire Marshall Bill, where are you?????

I have no fireplace flue expertise whatsoever, but the fireworks cleaning strategy strikes me as one of the dopiest I've ever heard!

Beyond that, I kinda like Dak's idea.

If you have to clean your chimeny every 6 weeks it doesn't sound like your method is ver succesfull.

at least I'm in the top 10%

so when is the next cleaning/show????

Point being, about 90% of the time when someone calls another out for punctuation or spelling, the person calling the other out usually has the same issue in their post. Always enjoy that. Period.

missing your point G43

I love it when someone calls out another for punctuation or spelling, and then their post has the same issue(s). LOL

Careful, Bucky!

Wouldn't mind watching this from a few neighbors away, but I think I side with our punctuation challenged friend on the safety issue

Have good homeowners insurance?
