Chimney Cleaing - Cleaning the Chimney Stack on a Coffee Bean Roaster

We had fun last week cleaning the stack on a coffee bean roaster. Even though it was very simple, it still was very fun. According to the owner, John R of Northwoods Roasterie, a coffee shop located in Lindstrom, MN, the coffee bean roaster must be cleaned annually to satisfy the manufacturers warranty requirements.

The process was really no different then cleaning a house chimney. One of our guys was on top of the roof with a rotobrush, the other was positioned with vacuum in hand by the chimney stack of the coffee bean roaster. Since it was a straight shot, and a short chimney, the process was very quick. In one years time their hadn't accumulated much soot (creosote) in the chimney.

John explained that since his coffee shop is only one year old and he is still building his clientele, his chimney wasn't as dirty as what it will be next year. He explained that a coffee shop that roasted 800 or 900 pounds of coffee per day would perhaps need it cleaned more frequently.
