I have just used the logs until now . I bought the powder for the first time. The logs have gone up about 7 dollars . Yeah we were off our game this year . But it’s burning 🔥 like a champ now !
I guarantee about 80% of your problem is burning wood that is too wet. Properly seasoned firewood you should only need to clean your chimney once every 2 or 3 years or once every 200 hours whichever comes first. Secondly: if smoke is coming back into your home when burning wood even if your chimney was 95% clogged that is an air flow drafting problem which can be caused by either your chimney not being tall enough to draft properly or the stove is trying to draw air directly from the room it is in and does not have a clean air intake attached to the outside. Search wood stove clean air intake here on TH-cam my guess is that is 100% your problem most of that creosote would burn itself out if the stove was getting proper airflow.
Thanks for the advice . We actually have a meter to check the wood and do so . But our stove burns great now and draws perfectly once again . I guess it just got away from us this time . We will definitely be more vigilant in the future . Have a great day 👋⛄
@tonirad9577 in that case if your wood is dry then my second statement would be your case. When I first had a wood stove installed in my home it kept suffocating itself out couldn't get a draft to save my life. Found out that my home was so well installed that i have less than a .03 micron intrusion from outside air it's like living inside a refrigerator. So when my stove was burning it was actually starving for air unless we kept a window cracked open somewhere had our first chimney cleaning and discovered the chimney was Chuck full of creosote and they told us it's because the stove isn't burning properly because it's not getting proper airflow so it can't burn it off eventually it builds up so thick then eventually smoke would start back drawing into the house installing a fresh air vent to the outside solved all of that problem. My guess is you probably have something similar going on. Could be wrong but the only way to test it is to find a window somewhere and keep it cracked while your stove is running.
Tony, you are wonderful and indeed thank you so much for this beautiful sharing
I appreciate you watching! 👍 Thank you 🙏
You jinxed lazy sunday by making craft plans!
Dang it !
I use creosote destroyer powder in my stove. My stepdad just had a plugged chimney last week.
