Ashes should be placed in a metal container equipped with a tight sealing lid. The container
should be placed on a non-combustible 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 cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
Can I get creosote in my stovepipe and chimney with the SEDORE woodstove?
The answer to this question is yes. Although the SEDORE woodstove is designed to re-burn the
smoke and gases, thus preventing creosote. There are certain conditions, which when not cor-
rected will allow the smoke to go straight through unburned.
These are the three main reasons for creosote buildup in stovepipes or chimneys:
1) Chimney not high enough. Without enough height to your chimney the whole burning process
will not work correctly.
2) Burning the SEDORE stove in an air-tight house without an outside air-feed (the air in the
house will actually become a vacuum).
3) Burning wet or green wood on the bottom of fuel load. If you put wet or green wood half way up
your fuel load, it doesn't do much harm, other than make more creosote go on the underside of
the lid and sides of the burning chamber, however you must have dry wood in the bottom. When
green wood is put in the bottom, creosote can then go in your pipes.
Remember, each time you raise the lid of your SEDORE woodstove, you clear the burn chamber
of smoke, and it goes up the chimney. Wherever unburned smoke goes, so does the creosote.
So some creosote buildup in the chimney is inevitable.
Most of the creosote from the smoke will remain in the front chamber where it simply dries and
falls into the fire chamber where it will be burned.
After a few weeks of burning your new SEDORE woodstove, take your inside pipes down and
check them until you are sure of the method of burning in your stove.
The general rule is the "junkier" the stuff is that you are burning, the more creosote you will get,
but it will stay on the upper walls and the underside of the lid, where it will simply dry and fall off.
In other words don't worry about creosote in the burning chamber, as no harm can be done.
There is one other reason for creosote in the chimney with this stove and that is having a chimney
cap that has a band in it. If you have one of these, cut the band out and you should be fine.
Can I burn green wood?
Yes, green and wet wood will burn in the SEDORE stove as long as it is put on top of at least half
a load of dry wood (or other dry fuel), as it will dry out before it reaches the bottom.
You will discover that you get more creosote when you use green or wet wood. However, this is
not a problem in the SEDORE because as long as you have placed good dry fuel on the bottom
of the fuel load, the rest of the load doesn't matter much because it will dry before it reaches the
fire at the bottom. The creosote from the wet wood will stay in the front chamber, on the lid and
upper walls, where no harm can be done - it will simply dry and fall in by itself. Caution: When
loading fuel, don't put wet wood in at the bottom as the creosote can then go up the chimney.
