Are those "chimney sweeping logs" any good to use between professional chimney cleanings? Or are they just junk?

Thanks, Luc

Recently I had a customer tell me, "I found out the hard way, they dont work"
I suppose the mechanic in a can or the plumber in a bottle can fix those related problems as well. ;)

If you were to read the entire label of the chimney cleaning log it will tell you it doesnt replace the annual inspection and cleaning by a professional.

Between cleanings? Perhaps a false sense of security? Only you will know for sure.

I have also heard of sprinkling salt on the logs of a burning fire to prevent cresote build-up. Get it cleaned professionally and he/she can also tell you of any other problems you may have. Good luck.
