Heritage

Nearly 90 Years of Expertise

In 1937, the Marine Electrolysis Eliminator Company (MEECO) developed a soot removal product under contract from the United States Department of Natural Resources. They trademarked the name “MEECO'S RED DEVIL” and introduced it to the public the same year. From that beginning, MEECO has built its reputation on value, quality, and American manufacturing.

Annual Chimney Maintenance Schedule
Before Heating Season (Fall)

Inspect the flue: Check for creosote buildup, cracks, or obstructions. A flashlight and mirror can reveal deposits that need cleaning.
Brush the chimney: Use the correct size Meeco's Red Devil chimney brush with extension rods to remove soot and creosote from the full length of the flue.
Check gaskets: Inspect door gaskets on wood stoves and inserts for compression and wear. Replace with Meeco's gasket rope if gaps are visible.

During Heating Season (Winter)

Monitor creosote: Check the flue monthly during heavy use. Stage 1 (flaky) is normal; Stage 2 (shiny) and Stage 3 (glazed) require immediate treatment.
Use creosote remover: Apply Meeco's Red Devil creosote remover regularly to break down deposits and reduce fire risk.
Keep FireEx accessible: Store a Meeco's FireEx suppressant stick near the fireplace or stove for emergency chimney fire response.
