Switched to a push broom for flue cleaning and cut my time by half

I used to spend 20 minutes per job with a standard wire brush and a lot of elbow grease, especially on those heavy creosote jobs in old brick chimneys around Portland. Then last fall I grabbed a 10 inch push broom head from a hardware store on SE Powell and rigged it onto my rods. Now I can knock out a level 2 cleaning in under 10 minutes with way less mess. Anyone else messed around with non standard brush heads?

Are you counting time for setup, breakdown, and tarps too @jakel36? I have some doubts that's a real 10 minute window.

10 minutes for a level 2? That sounds unreal.
