They’re sending me a wood stove management plan, so that this build-up never happens again, and I’m signing up. Jared came to get me a half dozen times to check on all the junk in the stove pipes. Whenever any workman says “hey can you take a look at this,” wince. I think they know I’ll never read it or understand it, but I welcome these heroes into the Bedlam Farm family – Maria and I were much impressed. They even gave me a detailed report, e-mailed me with photos and recommendations for the future within minutes of leaving. Jared and Brandon were great and did a great job quickly and thoroughly, and our home is warm and toasty once more. The hat and sweet are a Saratoga gimmick, i think, no local sweep would be caught dead in one.īut then, Saratoga is full of swells and ex-New Yorkers, and getting their attention requires a bit of marketing. He didn’t left a trace of soot or dirt, and was fun and friendly. The stoves were, in fact, both clogged with creosote, he scraped so much out – buckets – I felt extremely fortunate. He was not just a pretty hat, he also did a remarkable job. He had some powerful vacuums and scrapers I hadn’t seen before and he called me out of my office to look at the creosote. Jared showed up with Brandon this morning at the farm right on time, and I didn’t realize that the very idea of the Chimney Sweep (a British thing) was quite real. I was in need of a hero, the winter bites hard. It was a miserable and icy weekend, and I couldn’t get anyone from the town to come look at our stoves, so I went online and found a company in Saratoga called Chimney Heroes, which caught my eye. In an old farmhouse like we have, fire safety is not something to take lightly, and if creosote was building up in the stove, we wanted to get to it right away. Our wood stove wasn’t drawing properly, and this makes me uneasy.
