CREOSOTE FORMATION, INSPECTION,
& REMOVAL
CAUTION:
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED
MONTHLY DURING THE BURNING SEASON FOR
ANY BUILD-UP OF SOOT OR CREOSOTE.
When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney
flue or a newly started fire or from a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire, which may damage
the chimney or even destroy the house. Despite
their high efficiency, pellet stoves can accumulate
creosote under certain conditions. The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected by
a qualified person annually or per ton of pellets
to determine if a creosote or fly ash build-up has
occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Inspect the system at the stove connection and
at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build
creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to
check the chimney from the top as well as from the
bottom. The creosote should be removed with a
brush specifically designed for the type of chimney
in use. A qualified chimney sweep can perform this
service. It is also recommended that before each
heating season the entire system be professionally
inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired. To
clean the chimney, disconnect the vent from the
stove.
FLY ASH
This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an
exhaust run. Though non-combustible, it may
impede the normal exhaust flow. It should therefore
be periodically removed.
ASH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL
CAUTION:
ALLOW THE STOVE TO COOL BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
CLEANING. ASHES MUST BE DISPOSED IN A
METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID.
THE CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD
BE PLACED ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE
OR ON THE GROUND, WELL AWAY FROM ALL
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL
DISPOSAL.
Remove the ashes periodically to avoid unnecessary
ash build up. Remove ashes when unit has cooled.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed
of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container
until all embers have been thoroughly cooled. The
container shall not be used for other trash or waste
disposal. If combined with combustible substances,
ashes and embers may ignite.
