MEECO'S RED DEVIL3" Fiber Pellet Brush

I purchased fiberglass rods and a 3 inch fiber brush to clean out the flue of my wood pellet stove. Other brush and rod combinations I have purchased just wadded up after going in a short distance so a rigid rod was what I needed. Since the rigid meeco rods were 1/4 inch pipe thread and the 3 inch meeco brush was 1/2-20 thread I went to my local hardware store and purchased a 1/4 inch pipe coupling and a 1/4-20 barrel nut. I welded them together, end-to-end, making an adapter. With this combination, I was able to connect the two dissimilar threads together and clean out the pipe properly without any collapsing of the rods. I was amazed at how much ash I was able to clean out of the flue. My stove is running as it did when it was newly installed. The quality of both the rods and the brush seems quite good.My only regret is that there was not a pre-made adapter available to connect the 1/4 pipe thread to the 1/4 20 thread. Meeco are you listening?

What you see is not what you get. The brush will probably work fine but I was looking for a brush with a ball at the end, this is just a standard fiber brush and the shipping was half the cost of the product..Disappointed to say the least. I consider it false advertising.... buyer beware....

It was early spring in Upper Michigan, and we still had snow on the ground, not a pellet stove brush to be found at Menards. They put all the winter stuff away even though we still had snow...so this worked out wonderful.

Worked fine the first time. Need to see how it holds up.

I mistakenly assumed it included the rod since the details stated the size as 48. So the rating of "2" is only due to incorrect product description. I will update this review after I order a rod and try it.

a-ok

It worked well and was easy to use.
