Hey Bukn they sell a product call "wet and forget" for your roof it kills the moss. You can buy the concentrate i dont recomend buying the diluted premixed its a rip off. Anyway you mix this concentrate i believe its a 5:1 and spray it on your roof where the moss grows with a pump sprayer and you just leave it on there and it kills the moss in a few weeks. Do it in the spring just not on a sunny day it is also non toxic. Works amazing
Love your messages of being kind letting people in front of you and so forth. Here in Ohio I do that even when few others do the same, it's who I am as a humble, caring person. Love from Ohio!!!
Hey Buckin, thanks for the video brother! I have over 30’ of pipe on a 6 and 12 metal roof I have to clean it from the bottom with a drill and many extension rods. I do it once a year and we burn 7-9 cords Of Doug Fir, Alder and Maple here in Oregon! Love you bro!☮✌🏻
Doesn't matter if I need a little heat or a lot of heat, I ALWAYS burn a hot fire and when starting a fire its always full throttle until the chimney system and stove are all good and hot. The great thing about these soapstone stoves, is that you can burn a FAST HOT fire in them with a small fuel load, and they release the heat from that fast hot fire slowly over many hours even after the fire has burned out. That little tribute has as much thermal mass as a 450lb iron stove so it will retain a ton of heat! The manual for our Mansfield recommends burning the stove at full throttle 25-30 minutes, once every day that the stove is used to keep things clean! It's very good advice. Keeps the glass, inside of stove, and cats nice and clean and safe! I burn mostly ponderosa and some of it is very pitchy so we do get some sooty stuff in the chimney. Most of it is that fluffy stuff that doesn't contain much energy but sometimes there's a thin bit of crusties up near the top. I sweep 2-3 times a season. A small stove burning hot is generally safer than a big stove choked way down.
Good stuff, Buckin! I use the char chunks to light my stove; just hit the chunks with small propane torch for a second. They start glowing immediately, add a little draft, and it's off to the races.
Well I remember the stove cleaning and chimney sweepin from 2 years ago. Hard to believe. Love ya brother always a great video and thanks for sharing your love and experience with us
Buckin, I'm going to share this to the community just because theres no reason to be stingy with helpful tips and that I appreciate what you, Tinman, Donnie, Harvey and others do for us. I did this year ago having to do chimneys by myself. Buy a tee packs of air hose quick connectors that fit the thread of your cleaning rods, teflon tape the threads and put the male/female connectors on your rods accordingly. This will make it alot easier instead of all those rods dangling up in the air. Tale them off and put them on as needed. God Bless.

Buckinstock is an outdoor event that Buckin has put on twice, a get together to meet Buckin, talk axes and chainsaws and demo techniques and ax throwing and...gather and meet folks. I'm a late comer so i have not attended.
I worked as a chimney sweeper for a year after I left the military and before I became a faller. The two most important things for keeping a stove and chimney in good condition is dry wood and burning it hot. Thats it. It makes an insane difference and Ive cleaned out buckets of solidified tar/kreosote thats like glass from chimneys where they fail in one or both of these things. There are other things as well to make it even better but always remember: DRY and HOT! Great job Buckin!! Cheers from Sweden.
The Michael Jackson look of white socks with your loafers…as you sweep your chimney ….just the extra touch that made me laugh. You are an odd bird BR, but that is the fun of watching your channel. You do drop good knowledge to boot!
With a week of freezing (low 20's) storms on tap for the entire west coast this week ..BC to S.F. Bay, I just snagged the chimney sweep package at Bezos online shop. We are all Consciousness. But then, what is Consciousness? Consciousness is God expressed in physical form. Be kind friends...
Billy , look’s like a Hearthstone soapstone stove. I have a Woodstock soapstone stove in upstate Ny. We burn the stove warm to hot around the clock and usually end up with a gallon or two of creosote dust at the end of the burn season . Great video !
Burning dry wood, burning hot is the only way to go. Dunno if it's available in Canada, but I use a creosote remover powder by Rutland as well- As you said, Buckin', for times when stove's shut back, burning low. A scoop once or twice a week keeps my two story masonry chimney clean, haven't needed to brush it out for nearly thirty years. The powder crystalizes sticky creosote into black sand, falls into cleanout. I pull my stovepipe once each winter, inspect, brush, good to go.
Stage 3 creosote in the top end of the chimney. Any recommendations of how to clean it out? I don't want to attempt to burn it out, since this is a 2 story house. 7" x 7" Clay Liner. Appreciate any tips. Considering PCR.
Thanks for bringing us into your home🙂you’ve got some nice burning wood in yer back yard! I’ve got to sweep 2/3 times a winter😅 don’t seem to matter how seasoned my wood is. Aspen and birch just ain’t as nice as fir👍
Good draft, well seasoned firewood and a hot fire tend to prevent creosote build up. Green wood and smoldering fires are dangerous. I don't think the brownish stuff you got out is nearly as dangerous as the thick black residue that almost needs chipping to remove.
Hey billy. My grandfather is havin surgery today and worried. He’s 88 years old, and he’s the reason I been cuttin wood all my life. He’s all I got left. Say a prayer for Charlie for me plz, I’m not as good at this stuff like you are. Thank you
Billy appreciate what you are doing, but why haven’t you replaced the screen on your spark arrester? You need to do this. We have lost cottages in Lake of the Woods Ontario because of errant sparks in the dry season.
That's a very clean stove pipe! IMPRESSIVE. (This is my wife's account. Been watching for years, but I'm not into tech stuff. Thus I highjack hers, lol) I've seen guys that burn the "other wood species" and it usually looks like they have stalagmites growing off the inside of their chimney. My story: All for nothing. I bought a fancy flexible chimney stick and a spinning brush. It hooks on to a cordless drill to spin if you desire. I built my stove pipe with a clean out trap at the bottom. Its a out-n-up pipe. Again, all for nothing. I HAVE NOT CLEANED MY STOVE PIPE IN well this will be my 10th burn season. It NEVER needs it. Clean as a whistle. Burn HOT is key. Early on I didn't know what was going on or why it was staying so clean. Burn hot with seasoned wood. I don't say this lightly and it's wise to closely monitor the build up in your chimney,but we burn very seasoned hardwoods, Oak, Hickory, (even beech,maple and ash) I was told about a product that is a powder too. I put a scoop of the stuff into my hot fire (good coal bed too) and it also promotes flaking and burn off of any starting buildup. Use it once and awhile. the tub has lasted us 5+ years. Other than that i'm just sold on burning hot. Small amounts of wood and more air if you want to not roast yourself out. Also I just let my fire burnout over night. I enjoy starting fires as well as cutting kindling. Never a shortage there. I just use a long stem match and the kindling. Never use papers or fire starters. I plan on pulling off my inside pipe and checking it after we are done with our shoulder season. I'm convinced a hot fire is the reason. (that and quality seasoned wood) Qudrafire step top stove for anyone curious.
I just had a chimmey fire last nite scared me to death. I'm scared to run my stove now. But my house is drafty. And the house runs off oil heat at 5.75 a gallon. I have been running an all nighter giant moe for 20 years with no problems before this incident. I had a stove pipe replaced last year and they advised I run a damper in my chimmey pipe. And against my better judgment I agreed.I never had these problems before.I love heating my house with wood but now I'm worried.I live at home with my parents and my austic niece. I could not live with myself if I killed someone or burnt my parents house down. Everyone be safe burning your stoves. And hopefully we can put an end to price gouging on fuels.
I burn my stove hot. But that because I live in a big five bedroom house. I just got my stove and just started burning wood. All my wood is a 20, 21 on the moisture meter, so I burn them hot, but in the night I leave the wood to burn just as coals do it doesn’t got to dangerous temperatures on the wood stove thermometer. Burning on low. My chimney should be fine right?
Back in around 1978, I built a Stove for my 2-story home out of a 16" Pipe with 1/4" Wall, 20" long. Top Horizontal exhaust with a 1/4 PL Baffle in front of (inside) the opening. 23' tall Flue with Spark Arrester around the Cap of 1/8" square holes. I would watch that Spark Arrester with the Binocs about once a month, figuring that if my Flue needed sweeping, the holes would get round. They never did. After about 5 years, I got a Brush & swept the flue till it was shiny. I got about 1/8 cup of light tan dust. I don't believe a modern stove, even with the phony catalist will run that clean. Bonus: a Round Stove needs NO Fire Bricks, as the welds heat evenly & will not split like a Box Stove eventually will. It will put out a BUNCH more heat, too. Your stove obviously runs pretty clean. Good info.
I can remember back till I was 8 years old ,,are chimney sweep had a rope tied on each end ,I'd be inside the house and dad would be up on the roof ,and no matter how hard i would try to stay clean id end up with soot all over me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but its nice looking back at the simpler times in life ,great memories
I let my stove rip at least once a week. Full loaded stove Ill burn it down to a bed of coal wide open. Haven't had to sweep the chimney in years. Run a brush down and I get less than a cup.
Always enjoy watching your vids 😉. To clean the glass easily, I use wet kitchen towel and dip it into the ash. Then wipe the glass, it works a treat!! No chemicals or hardly and cost.
Thank you so much for sharing!! Just got my Buck stove right before thanksgiving holidays. Still trying to learn my way around without burning my house down. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
Hey Buckin nice vid good advice all around and GREAT message and drumming at the end. Take care and shout out to all the soldiers of kindness out there… world might need us just now!
As a former chimney sweep, need to take all bricks out and give a thoroughly cleaning. Allows you to see all of your weld joints to check for any cracking when its cold .
Thanks for the video. I also burn hot. For those wanting less heat simply use less wood but more air. I chimney sweep yearly and get about a 3/4 litre of creosote from a 16' x6'' pipe.....happy burning !
The old stove at my aunt's in MI used to coke up a chimney so bad. We'd take the cap off in the spring and burn it in a barrel of paper and cardboard to get it clean. These new stoves are incredible!
Hey Buckin, thanks to your advice and tips over the years I've fixed up a Husky 141 with an Oregon speedcut 15" bar and chain, works like a charm. Working my way up to using my Dad's Husky 560xpg to cut up logs to size ready to go through our firewood processor this spring/summer. Hope to clear the yard!
There is something you can do to help prevent needing to clean your chimney as often and you will not believe me but I dare you to try it. Burn an aluminum can. So throw a soda/seltzer or energy drink/beer can in there. Note: this is a preventative you need to start with a freshly cleaned chimney and you want the can in or against the hotest part of the fire. Instead of my friend having to clean the chimney every year he is down to every 2-3years. He is disabled so this makes a huge difference. What happens is a chemical reaction that binds to and causes the creasote and soot to fall back down and be burnt by the fire. Note this only works for aluminum cans. Simple cheap and easy.
Wether its a hot stove or a hot billet, perhaps a hot day... always a great day to spend time with Buckin! thanks for bringing us along on the cleaning, amazing that's all you got after almost 2 years of burning. The billet at the end is massive! for The wood bullet! woo hoo! Have a good one buddy! MAGKD!
Buckin is a man who takes extreme pride in a clean chimney. Me personally, I consider creosote and alternative fuel source. When the smoke backs up into the house it's time to give her a clean, until then, keep on smokin'. LOL, Just kidding, the decals believe in dry wood, and a hot fire. The only thing that would have made this video better is if Buckin would of wore one of those old chimney sweep top hats. Love to all!
Right on video: these dead coals are the equivalent of the commercially available charcoal briquets sold to use in barbeque setups. Leave them in the firebox and shove them to the side and remove the ashes instead. I don't ever use paper to start my next fire, I just place my kindling on top of these coals and hit them with a propane torch for a minute or two and I have a roaring hot fire in just a few minutes. Good tutorial video. Thanks!
So, I was born in Florida, and as a young adult bought a 10 acre homestead farm in Virginia, well my heating oil bill was $500!!! So I spend $800 on a wood stove and put that in. Well, my ashes do not vitrify into nuggets like them chunks you put back in.... why's that? I run it as hot as I safely can every time I light it, so I'm not sure what's up, y'all know?
Hey Bukn they sell a product call "wet and forget" for your roof it kills the moss. You can buy the concentrate i dont recomend buying the diluted premixed its a rip off. Anyway you mix this concentrate i believe its a 5:1 and spray it on your roof where the moss grows with a pump sprayer and you just leave it on there and it kills the moss in a few weeks. Do it in the spring just not on a sunny day it is also non toxic. Works amazing
A Galvanized Ridge Cap will do a great job on moss.
Moss doesn’t like soot!

Loved hearing the hummingbird when you were putting together the sweep.
Well I remember the stove cleaning and chimney sweepin from 2 years ago. Hard to believe. Love ya brother always a great video and thanks for sharing your love and experience with us
LOVE YA GCL
I really needed to watch this video thanks
Buckin-"I used to do some weird things..." Me- "Used too?!" Luv ya Buckin!
Thank you Billy Ray!!!
Love your show buckin keep up the good work
Gotta love that radiant heat coming off a stove on cold days.
My wood burner will keep my house at 90⁰f when its 32⁰f. 32f=0c.
Allows you to open the windows and get some fresh air in the house
Fantastic video!!! 🪓❤🪵🌲🪵❤🪓
I burn nothing but madrone, it always burns down to a super fine powdery ash. I love that stuff

That’s a great tip buddy I will try that thanks for sharing
I believe what you’re calling the damper is you’re baffle board those are designed so that you’re stove doesn’t crack
I need to do this ASAP Bill. like yesterday
Is that a hearthstone soap stone stove? I've been using one for 32 years.
Thank you very good love your vibe new subscribe❤
electric "booster" chimney top vertical axis turbine, both for wind and heated air turbine generation, one sided shielded impeller turbine generator on the top, simple attached on the roof-chimney
you can run it as the roof top ventilation air pump, and the fire starter enhancer, as a bellows, if you use coal in the furnace
have CaO (cement ingredient) as a quick heat source, water + CaO = Ca(OH)2 + heat, emergency cooking asset
yes, its that wood burning residue, mostly
recharge by reheating where the water gets out of the Ca(OH)2 = back to CaO
every house should have a very long radio antenna with wind turbine on top
Sweeping Billy Ray
What’s hot tho? I don’t like my stack getting over 500 degrees. I burn both coal and wood
WHAT is BuckinStock?

Thanks for the help buckin
nothing better than a wood stove
Those chunks of ash are called clinkers, the ash gets so hot it turns to glass .as always l enjoy your videos.keep up the good work Billy
It's funny when people don't think they need to clean it 🤣
Window cleaner and a newspaper work good for cleaning the glass on woodstoves

Nice job on the chimney. Looking forward to seeing some Buckin Damascus Axe heads. Put me down for a couple. 👍🍻
Wet newspaper dipped in ashes when rubbed on the inside of the glass will take the char right off of it .... works great.....clean as a whistle
Look at that. I just got a nice used hearthstone stove just like that. Good to see she burns clean.

Probably flammable right guys. !? Dust is the most flammable wish you would’ve touched it with a match or torch
I can remember back till I was 8 years old ,,are chimney sweep had a rope tied on each end ,I'd be inside the house and dad would be up on the roof ,and no matter how hard i would try to stay clean id end up with soot all over me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but its nice looking back at the simpler times in life ,great memories
I burn hot because I have some punky wood mix...I check it yearly because I want to ensure all is well...peace
i'm just glad you weren't brewing a big pot of coffee to pour down your chimney , ha ha ha ...
I let my stove rip at least once a week. Full loaded stove Ill burn it down to a bed of coal wide open. Haven't had to sweep the chimney in years. Run a brush down and I get less than a cup.
Facemask Buckin. You don't want that stuff in your lungs.
Always enjoy watching your vids 😉. To clean the glass easily, I use wet kitchen towel and dip it into the ash. Then wipe the glass, it works a treat!! No chemicals or hardly and cost.
First time Iv not seen you in boots my friend much love
WOW Billy My wife would have killed me if I didn't shut the door while cleaning it.
Being a Wett certified chimney sweep I’d be fired push soot down with the door open. But I get it it’s for entertainment value..
Thank you so much for sharing!! Just got my Buck stove right before thanksgiving holidays. Still trying to learn my way around without burning my house down. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
Hey Buckin nice vid good advice all around and GREAT message and drumming at the end. Take care and shout out to all the soldiers of kindness out there… world might need us just now!
As a former chimney sweep, need to take all bricks out and give a thoroughly cleaning.
Allows you to see all of your weld joints to check for any cracking when its
cold .
It looks like pellet stove ash. What brand stove is that? Looks nice with the soap stone an all.
Thanks for the video. I also burn hot. For those wanting less heat simply use less wood but more air. I chimney sweep yearly and get about a 3/4 litre of creosote from a 16' x6'' pipe.....happy burning !
Nice stove Billy! I get a gallon of ash about every 10 days, burning 24/7. They call them rocky things clinkers.
you got it
BBRS please wear a N95 mask when cleaning.
When we had a big ingle nook we used to drop a couple of chickens down to clean the chimney
The old stove at my aunt's in MI used to coke up a chimney so bad. We'd take the cap off in the spring and burn it in a barrel of paper and cardboard to get it clean.
These new stoves are incredible!
Can’t wait to see you do some metal working!!! I would love to see a buckin wood bullet hatchet! Love you Buckin!
I always empty my ashes from the stove on the lawn ( good idea if you have a lawn )
I feel like you trying to remember last the stove pipe was spun out
Hey Buckin, thanks to your advice and tips over the years I've fixed up a Husky 141 with an Oregon speedcut 15" bar and chain, works like a charm.
Working my way up to using my Dad's Husky 560xpg to cut up logs to size ready to go through our firewood processor this spring/summer.
Hope to clear the yard!
I clean mine twice a year no exceptions. not cleaning for 2 tears IMHO is irresponsible being a family man can never be too safe
Don't you just hate it when you are yelling to yourself
hi buckin miss wendy miss rita and hogan and eveyone else be kind new comers welcome
I have a Voda brand wood stove fan similar to the one you have. Moves a lot of air for no electricity 👍 👌
Why not use fireworks(petardos)in to the pipe
8:30 when i have to cough in the middle of destroying a sleeve of oreos

awesome .peace an love from scotland
Wether its a hot stove or a hot billet, perhaps a hot day... always a great day to spend time with Buckin! thanks for bringing us along on the cleaning, amazing that's all you got after almost 2 years of burning. The billet at the end is massive! for The wood bullet! woo hoo! Have a good one buddy! MAGKD!
yer most welcome moofer ,, love ya
How hot do you get your stove ?
Buckin is a man who takes extreme pride in a clean chimney. Me personally, I consider creosote and alternative fuel source. When the smoke backs up into the house it's time to give her a clean, until then, keep on smokin'. LOL, Just kidding, the decals believe in dry wood, and a hot fire. The only thing that would have made this video better is if Buckin would of wore one of those old chimney sweep top hats. Love to all!
THE TOP BANNANA LOL
Like your steel toe safety slipers
You already had a chimney fire that’s why the creosote is just like paper and just dust
LOL
Always good to have a clean stove and chimney. Is that a soapstone wood stove? Has a good draft you could see the dust going up. Being kind Buckin
RITE ON MARTO
I. Did the same thing.
Buckin! I must say that it doesn't matter what your doing, its always a joy to hang out with ya.

Right on video: these dead coals are the equivalent of the commercially available charcoal briquets sold to use in barbeque setups. Leave them in the firebox and shove them to the side and remove the ashes instead. I don't ever use paper to start my next fire, I just place my kindling on top of these coals and hit them with a propane torch for a minute or two and I have a roaring hot fire in just a few minutes. Good tutorial video. Thanks!
It's called "coke"
Hey buckin...was you walking on the ladder upside down???.....I think you were buddy...no skin off my hide just an observation ...😆
So, I was born in Florida, and as a young adult bought a 10 acre homestead farm in Virginia, well my heating oil bill was $500!!!
So I spend $800 on a wood stove and put that in.
Well, my ashes do not vitrify into nuggets like them chunks you put back in.... why's that?
I run it as hot as I safely can every time I light it, so I'm not sure what's up, y'all know?
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. Love the chimney sweep update. That is awesome like two years wow. Have a great day buddy. Love ya brother. 🌲❤🌲👊🪓
