    I live in a mobile home a year now, and when I moved in I installed a wood burner with a twin wall flue through the wall. Im now thinking its time to clean the flue but dont know how. I was thinking of sweeping it out and then I thought it would be easier and cleaner to dismantle the flue to clean. It would be quite easy to dismantle the flue, and I know this because I installed it myself. It would only be a matter of loosening the clamps holding each pipe together. Does anybody know if this is a good idea to do or could I potentially damage the flue.

    Just sweep it from the top down..and open the access port on the bend going through the wall to clean that part.
