What factors affect creosote build-up?
Many factors affect the rate and amount of creosote build-up: • Type of wood burned • Amount of moisture in the wood • Type of fire burned • Efficiency of stove. (One irony of wood burning is that the more efficient your stove or fireplace is in heating the house, the more creosote build-up it generally has. The more inefficient your equipment, the less creosote build-up.
