For best results, place the CSL on the hot embers after you have burned a regular fire. Never place the CSL on an active fire. I have a large half moon fireplace and they work. But it requires only the log to burn in hot embers and the rising gas change the creosote to a flake. A hot active fire doesn't allow the gas to work.
It doesn't show those directions on the box clearly. But it does state clearly that results may vary. It's just another no accountability situation on behalf of the company... We're getting used to this over the last couple of years...but we should always read the directions booklet on the inside before voting..uh, I mean using a CSL.
Back in the day, before fancy chimney sweeping logs, they used to burn their potato peelings regularly to prevent and remove build up. I guess the potato starch is what made it work maybe, I don't know.
you didn't follow the instructions but it still helped. It clearly said not to put on open flame but put on hot embers. Though for such a small stove I'd probably just manually clean it and not bother with those logs, seems gimmicky
After watching you camp with this stove on that low temperatures that I will never experience, I'm in love with it. This is a really good stove. Hope to watch unexpected camping locations soon. Regards from south Brazil.
Hey Post cool video on the CLS - Just wondering like others & correct me if I’m wrong but - @ 7:55 at the video on page 3 of the instructions, paragraph 3 it said to put your CLS in After the regular fire have completely gone out & to place it on the hot embers. It also said DO NOT USE ON ACTIVE FIREs with open flames… Just going off of what the instructions said… I know and can see that it did work inside the pipes as you showed us but do you think it might even work better if you do put it on the hot embers…? Just wondering why, they tell you to use hot embers and not open flames… Great experiment...!
It's a tiny stove and it's really hard to get Embers that will stay hot for a long amount of time so that's why this test couldn't be perfect. The reason you're supposed to do it without Flames I believe is because it supposed to smoke and the smoke would leave another residue just like the creosote over it to help deteriorate it
I watch every one of your videos. Even if I don't get the chance to leave a comment. I usually watch you on my big t.v... not as easy to always leave a comment. ☺️

A chimney sweep told me to use epsoms salt when you have a good fire and it will clean the pipe but once again it doesn't work on catalytic converters. I do know that my pipe has stayed clean and I have never had to sweep it. Just a handfull once a week works great.
Absolutely nothing has changed with the leak drain I just drove by it today and didn't even look at it because I know it's going to be the same, you can check my playlist I was there a few months ago
Lake drain not leak drain but I guess you could call it the leaking drain because it was put in wrong and leaking, speech-to-text doesn't always do great
When I was in the army we had gas fueled potbelly stoves. To clean the pipes after use in the field one of the best way to clean the pipes was to but some sand/dirt in it anything that could be slightly abrasive and shake the pile with your hands covering the ends and it cleaned it like a champ. And by gas I mean deiseal fuel.
@@post10Vlogs It sure gets your hands dirty with all the soot. But on the plus side it reduces soot dust getting all over you from the chimney brushes.
wow, while i watched that last vid i seen the creosote pissing out of the pipe during the x10 sleeping part and really wanted to see what it did to the inside of the pipe. i guess i get my wish.
My fireplace has never been cleaned and my place was built in the 60’s. How do really clean it myself. I’m scared to have anymore fires which I have at least 2 times a week ! I only open and close the damper and that stuff comes down
Even though you didn't follow instructions perfectly, I still think you would be better off getting a 2-3 ft steel brush. More reliable results, and you don't have to burn a whole fire to do so.
Because it is a small camping stove it is impossible for me to follow the instructions as it said. I cannot let it burn for two weeks, it is difficult to sustain hot Embers Without fire
I wonder if BBQ Charcoal would be *Ember* solving?? Infact if all that is required is a *Pyrolitic cycle* for the Creosote to bake off then....Why not put the 3 top pieces of Flue into the Stove? As you are doing the clean up none camp.
Do you have a tractor supply anywhere near you ? They sell really cool logs that are 5lbs each and made from recycled stuff. Check them out Pres-to-Log Fire Log, 5 lb., FL46 Also on page 2 of the csl booklet it says tire instead of fire ! Typo ! lol
Those logs are impossible to put out if you have to! Burned one in an apt I used to rent on a very windy night and the wind was backblowing to smoke down the flew into the apt. I dowsed the log with water to put it out and it kept burning!!!!!
Since you've been doing a lot of stove stuff lately, I've got a question. My current place of residence has forced air heat, and a propane fireplace. However, the unfinished section of the basement only has a tiny air vent and a wood stove. The stove itself will put out a lot of heat, but it drafts poorly. Any suggestions/tips for getting a good draft? It's really a pain to have all that smoke pour out of the stove when you're trying to load wood. And there's poor ventilation down there, so it's hard to get that smoke out. My father wants to replace it with one of those open flame propane heaters, and that's just making me facepalm due to the terrible ventilation in that space.
Make sure it has a fresh air intake (mine is piped up from the crawlspace) and also ensure it's hooked up to the right size chimney pipe, wrong size could be the cause as well. Check if there is a pull out ash pan on the stand/foot/pedestal?, when that gets full or is closed it interferes with air draw (my fresh air intake terminates under there and is where you might find it if it exists on yours).
As the other commenter said has a cold air intake, it's not always easy to build one of those so you can just crack a window when you're starting a fire and it may help. I have been heating with wood now consistently for about three and a half months and I only lit the fire four times it runs almost Non-Stop and I always get smoke in the room. Not a big deal I just open the window to let it go out to put you may not have a window. The stove company said I could try using a blowtorch to heat the flue to get it to start sucking air or make a really big pile of dry kindling and light it on fire with the door cracked while you monitor it for awhile
A quick comment. Your stove pipe is assembled incorrectly!!! This is CRITICAL!!! The crimped (tapered end) pipe must always be down. This is a basic requirement that your stove/pipe supplier should have shared with you. You can get a collar to put on top of stove that hides the crimp, it isn’t necessary but helps with aesthetics. Any solid fuel chimney must ALWAYS be assembled so if a chimney fire occurs, or if you get wet creosote, the pipe funnels the liquid back INSIDE the stove. You can see the reason when you have flammable liquid running over top of your stove. You were lucky this time, and didn’t die from a fire. But PLEASE get pipe properly installed, it will save your life. If your local stove store doesn’t agree, and help you with necessary parts information, FIND ANOTHER SUPPLIER!!! I am dead serious about this!!! ALL pipe must be crimp towards the stove, not just the one immediately above the stove. You might do a separate video discussing this CRITICAL installation requirement!!! Anyone with a chimney assembled crimp end up is living with a ticking time bomb!!!
But I did read the instructions, this is a camping stove impossible to follow them completely, I can't run this thing for 2 weeks Non-Stop and it is very difficult to sustain it being hot Without fire it being so small
As long as you clean your chimney every year and the pine is properly seasoned there is not a problem. Any wood that is not properly seasoned can cause creosote buildup not just Pine. Pine seasons in only 6 months but most people assume they can just go and burn that but a lot of times the sap under the bark will take a few years and that's why I let it sit for a long time. The tree builds up reserves of sap in the form of little bubbles along the bark in preparation of drought and they take years to dry
I guess you need to read instructions if you never use it to get best results 😂 it's always good to learn new things and stop making mistakes from experience.
Things that we should know. Thank you Post10 because I did not know that. I learned seasoning from you.🏆🏆🦺 Cause we're never too old to learn something new. You might have saved some people's houses.🎖

@@TheGor54 The instructions weren’t on the box, they were in the little booklet he briefly skimmed through.
Thanks for the review on this stove. I just recently purchased one. I found out there's also a "large" version as well.

Really enjoying all these wood fire videos. My grandparents had an indoor wood stove in their old country house when I was a kid and it was very cozy.

thanks for all the uploads lately!!
7:43 Even CSL can't even proof read their own instructions. It says tire instead of fire.
👍👍👍👍👍 I was interested in seeing how that cleaner would work. I agree with you. Didn't seem to do much and a yearly brushing is still needed.
Omg I have a whole new playlist to watch!!!! 😮😮😮 ❤❤❤❤

No apology needed...things happen. Still a great video!
Love all that you teach us! I want a wood stove, so I need to see all your doing. 👍
Hey that round pie e of wood the stove is on is from camping in the culvert. Love that your always finding away to repurpose things
You have a good day too Postie. Watching that wood burn is so neat. Looking forward to seeing the next camping video.
Hey i recognize that piece of wood, from your 36 hour culvert camp right? Keep up the great work bro, love your stuff.

That stove is currently sold out on amazon , and the price has gone up, you got a good deal for yours.
I paid about 120 maybe a little less

I have a woodstove too, I use the Chimney Cleaning Powder once or twice a week.
Well done video! Great job.....
We love all your experiment videos!😀
Watching about these stoves as I might get one for an outdoor living area. Thanks for educating me about them
Love all of your videos !
Very informative. We can all use information like this.
Interesting video. Perhaps something like a large equivalent of a bottle brush could loosen more of the creosote in the pipes.
Like a toilet brush…
When he shook the first pipe and the ash blew into the camera...I pulled back from my tablet..like it was blowing into my face! Lol 🤣😎❤
Thanks! 👍
always curious about these logs. May get it & the copper salt as that colours the flame & protects the flue. I've put off sweeping my chimney.
Just finished the camping video, perfect timing! Out of curiosity did the CSL get rid of that nasty smell the store bought wood left?
I think so it burned it most of it off
The major advantage of using a proper chimney sweep brush is you can put on a fake London accent and sing song from Mary Poppins. 😁
Burning hot help out a lot, low heat what bad, and using wet wood, That make it SMOKE
Thank you
I swear, Winter is the best time of year for your channel in my opinion lol. Think we can get an update on Lake Drain later this year?
Absolutely nothing has changed with the leak drain I just drove by it today and didn't even look at it because I know it's going to be the same, you can check my playlist I was there a few months ago

@@post10Vlogs ah damn, that sucks man. How long would you estimate until it starts collapsing once again/digging a cavity?
I've used those before in a regular fireplace. It seemed to do the job. I burned mainly post oak.
When I was in the army we had gas fueled potbelly stoves. To clean the pipes after use in the field one of the best way to clean the pipes was to but some sand/dirt in it anything that could be slightly abrasive and shake the pile with your hands covering the ends and it cleaned it like a champ.
And by gas I mean deiseal fuel.
That's the same way I clean pots and pans in the woods when I don't have a sponge sand and dirt

Have you ever been to Lubec Maine? Easternmost town in the Continental US
I have not
Just guessing how often do you think it should be used in a home chimney. I know it was a brief experiment. Thanks for sharing.
great video , well what do you say a product that really sort of works .
Damn how many channels do you have! Sweet!

What you have 3 channels!!!! Omg 🎉🎉🎉
Even though you didn't follow instructions perfectly, I still think you would be better off getting a 2-3 ft steel brush. More reliable results, and you don't have to burn a whole fire to do so.
What determines whether a video goes on your first or second channel?
Videos that I think are just good go here, more leggy boring talking a lot

he talked about this in the camping video ill try to find the timestamp
It's not avoidable that's how this camping stove is made, I always assumed it so rain can't go down it but that doesn't really make sense
Hey post10, when do you plan on doing unclogging videos or is it too early?
Usually starts up in late April or May
Nice😊

I never burn pine or unseasoned wood. Because of this exact reason. Pine has soooo much sap that its not worth burning in the long run

👍👍👍
It smokes alot because you used soft wood. Hard wood is always less smoke.
That's not true at all, it has to do with if it's properly seasoned and moisture content
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Dead batteries work good for sweeping the chimney
Soft wood makes more creosote more so then hard wood. Softy wood is pine. Hard wood is like oak or ash.
I’ve heard that sometimes if one piece of macaroni pasta sits on the stove and gets charred then sometimes this type of thing can can happen. 😉

4:53 avoid burning paper/cardboard with paint on it
I guess you need to read instructions if you never use it to get best results 😂 it's always good to learn new things and stop making mistakes from experience.
It's a small wood stove and making enough Embers would be pretty difficult so that's why I kept it flaming
You're not to put in on open flame. It was susppose to be on ambers.
Kind of hard to keep a going that long in a stove this small,
