Tried a golf ball in the flue on a stubborn Braintree job, heard it clear the whole run
Had a 1920s colonial in Braintree last Tuesday where the flue was so crooked my usual 6 inch poly brush kept binding up on the second turn. On a hunch I dropped a golf ball down from the top just to see if the run was actually open, and it clattered all the way to the smoke shelf in maybe 4 seconds. Client heard the whole thing from the living room and started laughing, but hey, I learned more about that flue's shape from one ball than from 20 minutes of rodding. Does anyone else use obstacles like that to map a bad flue, or am I just weird?

My buddy does the golf ball trick too, swore by it for years.
