Operation & Maintenance
The method and materials burned in your appliance directly affects the formation of creosote & soot. Burn only seasoned firewood. Avoid burning
green or unseasoned wood. Follow the appliance manufacturers owner’s manual for instructions on how to opera
te the appliance, start and build a
fire.
When 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 of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote
or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.
