i pull the stack off my stove (its collapsible) and put a bucket there and a towel to seal the stack to the bucket. then go to the roof, remove the cap and run the brush down. all the crap falls into the bucket, i attach the stack to the stove and i'm doe. takes longer to get the brush and all out of the basement and onto the roff then anything else..lol
