Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How to Minimize Creosote in your Chimney
Every time a fire is lit in the fire place creosote forms along the chimney wall. Continuous buildup of creosote is a hazard as it is easily combustible and may be ignited by hot flames rising from the fire.

The best way to deal with creosote is from its source; the fuel. Avoid slow burning fires; the by-products of the fire are not fully burnt. They go up the flue and settle along the chimney walls as creosote.

Use seasoned fuels for your fire. Firewood is best left to dry for at least 6 months. Unseasoned wood produces a lot of smoke and soot which will settle along the flue walls creating large creosote build ups.

Suppose you have a wood burning fireplace and stove, it's just impossible to totally get rid of the creosote buildup however there are some ways that you may minimize this as well as prevent this from reaching to stage two or three before the next cleaning. So, these are some best ways you can reduce the creosote accumulation:

Burn the Seasoned Firewood in the Discount Wood Fireplaces. Just burn the seasoned firewood has dried for six to twelve months and new wood has large amount of the moisture. Wood with higher moisture content makes more of smoke whenever it burns. The smoke then turns to creosote. Drier the wood is less smoke will be created, less creosote is made. Buying the moisture meter from hearth retail shop or from hardware store can help to determine when wood is best to burn. Ensure to split log in half prior to testing as outside and bark of log might be dry but inside still is holding the moisture. (The wet wood as well decreases the total heat output as extreme amount of the energy is been wasted in fireplace and boiling or evaporating water inside every log.)

Insure your fire has enough of air flow. Air is an important ingredient for efficient fire because it needs oxygen to stay lite. Suppose your fireplace has got glass doors, then it is good to open this so your fire will breathe. This may allow fire to burn much hotter and that burns greater amount of combustion gases. Many modern fireplaces, inserts, and stoves are considered as "high efficiency". Around 95% of hearth products sold are high efficiency, as well as are the best choice for the homeowners who want right amount of the air flow and slow burning and hot fire.
