You did not even open the lower swing door and clean up the pile of soot at the base. That vacuum from the top didnt get all the stuff that fell to the bottom when you brushed it...and also polish the large wall heat exchange areas as well....

Yeah I only did a few videos a few years back to try it out. It wasn't for me. Takes way to much of my time to edit and load etc. etc. I also wasn't doing it to show people how to do things for themselves. Mainly why I stopped. To many people get the idea that they can do things themselves because they saw it on the Internet. Wasn't doing it to be a teacher. So I stopped
If the heat exchanger "bumps" are all corroded/caked with mineral deposits that won't come off with a wire cleaning brush, is there any other way to safely clean them without risking leaks?
minerals are metals.... heat exchange loss would not be much different than the metal most likely. soot and so much blocking air flow would be the main blockage of proper heat transfer.
Mark Bikowski, THANKS! I am your new subby! I just vacuumed out my boiler and brushed between the teeth, like you instructed, I used 1/2 inch plastic tubing. However, I am not sure that all the crumbs inside the belly I vacuumed up was from both sides. While brushing, do the crumbs fall into the belly? I sucked up all but what looked like fibre glass insulation in the belly. I replaced the flu after vacuuming the entrance to the chimney and all is put back together. Do I have to wait till the plumber gets here to do his thing next week or can I turn on the boiler?
