How Do I Clean Creosote From My Wood Burner?
Creosote occurs in wood burners and fireplaces where moisture or a cool draft drops the temperature of the smoke below 250 degrees Fahrenheit. It forms a sticky tar-like substance that catches unburned particles or other volatile substances that drift into the vent. Eventually, it will harden and form a thick glaze that most brushes cannot remove. As it clogs the vent, the risk of a fire increases dramatically. Cleaning creosote from your wood burner is vital for your safety.
