Out here the work is mostly metal. Insulated class-A above the ceiling, single-wall connector between stove and support box, and a stove that heats the house rather than decorating it. Different brush, gentler hand, and far more attention to the joints than a masonry stack needs.

We take the connector pipe down where it is practical, because the near-horizontal sections collect the most and are least visible. Putting it back correctly matters as much as cleaning it - crimped ends facing the right way, three screws per joint, proper clearance at the ceiling box.

Job	Typical price
Wood stove, class-A pipe, standard height	$180 - $240
Connector pipe removed, cleaned and refitted	+$40 - $70
Second appliance - shop or outbuilding, same trip	$110 - $160
Property past Hungry Horse or toward West Glacier	same price, scheduled

What a chimney fire does to metal that it doesn't do to brick

A masonry chimney generally survives a chimney fire. Something cracks, an inspection finds it, it gets repaired. Class-A insulated pipe does not work that way. The liner is thin stainless and a genuine chimney fire can warp it, discolour it and compromise the insulation between the walls. At that point the section is finished - not repairable, only replaceable, and every manufacturer says the same.

That is the argument for keeping metal genuinely clean rather than adequately clean. On brick, a marginal year is a marginal year. On class-A, one bad event on a loaded flue costs you the chimney. On properties where response time is measured in tens of minutes, it can cost considerably more than that.
