WARNING
Creosote - Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly, they
produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood
of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining and
exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when grease
and/or creosote buildup has occurred.
When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of fire.
Disposal of ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When the ashes are
disposed by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
