Cleaned stovepipe from below by assembling brush and connecting rods all the way to the top. Placed a trash bag and taped it around the pipe with painting masking tape except for where the rods came through. Attached the drill and chuck to the rods and GENTLY increased the speed until I was sure the brush was expanded and begin brinigng it downwards slowly until the next rod showed. Gently slow down, remove a rod and repeat gentle process rod by rod. Use the goggles and a dust mask to guard against the creosote. Save the gloves and sponge for cleaning the rods and brush when you're done. Have an awesome day!
