Sweepers get $ to install liners. yes you will have creosote from wood, whether you have a liner or not.

Ok and no creosote from coal?
what you guys use for sweeping à rectangular chimney? are you using à round chimney hedgehog Or a rectangular one? (last are expensive so i'm wondering if i can clean mine with a round one?)

Round one is fine, just scrub it around and knock.down as much as possible. Turn your shop vac on before you start and wear a respirator if you have one, it's dirty work.

here is my inside chimney, i did sweep but on the left size from middle to the top, there are still full of creosote, i would say 6.5 feets high and 9 inch deep... 😖.
i will try to make it fall but i think i'm gonna need help of a professional sweeper...

Can you take the cap off chimney and get a picture? Or stronger light if it's a fixed top.
