Before and after shots of a creosote log situation in Wichita

I got a call from a house in Wichita that had been burning unseasoned wood all winter. The flue was packed with a shiny, tar-like creosote layer about an inch thick in spots. I ran a rotary brush for a solid 40 minutes and then followed up with a scraper on the worst sections. The difference was night and day, the draft pulled so much better after we cleared it out. Anyone else run into flues that bad from green wood and have a favorite way to break it down fast?
