Last year, Dan was scheduled to clean our woodstove chimney. On the morning scheduled, we lost power, so I called to let them know (hard to vacuum with no electricity).
Dan said he could still get it done. After using the brush to knock the creosote down into the stove, it lands on a "blanket" in the stove. They disconnected pipe from the stove and carefully ladled the residue into a small bucket, using the draft in the stove to remove the ash from the air. Then wiped stove cleaned.

Know when I empty ah from the stove, I keep the ash bucket right at the door opening and most of the ash dust goes back into the stove from the draft.

Great job.
