Had to choose between a steel brush and a poly one for a tough creosote job
I went with the steel brush because I figured it'd be tougher on the hard buildup. Ended up scratching the liner pretty bad and now I'm kicking myself - should've stuck with poly and saved the headache. Anyone else deal with this kind of choice on a heavy job?

Scratched the liner pretty bad" - yep, that's life's way of reminding me cheap shortcuts usually cost more in the end.

...and honestly, I'm not convinced this is that big of a deal. A scratched liner isn't the end of the world unless you went through it or something. Most liners can take some surface scratches and still work fine for years. Plus steel brushes have their place, especially on the really caked on stuff that poly just slides over. You probably got the creosote off way better than you would have with poly, even if the liner has a few battle scars now.

Steel's the move for heavy creosote but you gotta be careful, @alex_coleman's right that shortcuts bite you but poly wouldn't have cut it on a real tough job anyway.
