Remote Chimney Sweep Back On Market
I invented and patented this remote-controlled chimney sweep nearly 25 years ago. I've had one in use on my house since then and it has worked great for all that time. A few were built commercially and the people who bought units love them.
Now Gene Boehler, Farmersville, Ill., is bringing them back to market.

Remote Chimney Sweep Back On Market MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 34-1-19 I invented and patented this remote-controlled chimney sweep nearly 25 years ago. I've had one in use on my house since then and it has worked great for all that time. A few were built commercially and the people who bought units love them.
Now Gene Boehler, Farmersville, Ill., is bringing them back to market.
Controlled by a rope from the ground, the sweep simply fits over the top of a circular flue and houses a brush with a weight housed in the top. Smoke exits through metal screening below the upper housing. It can be used on a brick chimney if it has a circular metal liner.
The brush has 1 in. of bristles which is enough to keep the flue clean yet still pull easily up and down with a light weight attached. Galvanized steel cable is used.
Arnold and Doris Hall, Dow, Ill., have had a unit installed on their Dow, Ill., home since the early 1990's and say they wouldn't want to be without it. "Before we had the sweep, we were forever doing the messy job of taking down the flue to clean it. This just makes it easy," says Doris.
