Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How Creosote Buildup Occurs in Your Fireplace and Chimney or Wood Burning Stove

Creosote buildup can occur due to different reasons. Among all these reasons burning wet woods or the unseasoned woods is the prime cause behind the development of creosote. This is a highly combustible element and it needs to be removed and cleaned properly. If you have an indoor fireplace, wood burning stove or chimney, then you must pay a huge attention towards the development of creosote.

This type of element can be deposited with time in the chimney. So, paying attention towards it can really help you to clean creosote before it triggers house fire like event. As this element is highly combustible, it can trigger house or fire hazards easily. There are many home owners who have already experienced the same sort of happening in the past. Most of them have offered less attention to the development of creosote. They have either used unseasoned woods or wet woods to fire the fireplace or wood burning stove and creosote has developed with time. And this has led the way for fire hazards or house fire further.

Once getting dry creosote can even merge into the indoor atmosphere. And this can become even more hazardous once creosote will merge into your foods. These particles can even move into your body and lungs while breathing and this is not at all good for human health. So, you need to pay a good amount of attention towards creosote buildup. And once you find it, clean it properly. In this way, you can keep your home and the indoor environment safe. There is a little truth at what your consultants told you. The softwoods produce more creosote than hardwoods, however not in all circumstances. But, effect of the wood type isn't very important as the chimney location and type, and this is not as important as how you operate the stove.

In the experiments, we have found that it depends on air setting on test stove and fuel moisture content, softwood or pine resulted in same amount of the creosote as the oak to 4 times. And, though it is by no way the trivial difference, it's less significant while compared with an effect of heater's air setting. We have observed over 48 times of more creosote with the smoldering fire compared with the hot flaming fire by using same fuel. Therefore, one very most important and simple way of reducing the buildup of creosote is burning the fuel instead of smoke. The smaller fuel loads as well as larger air settings will be a key. This may need more of frequent refueling, obviously, but you will not burn more of wood to get same amount of the heat. Thus, it is very important that you pay special attention to it and see you use right quality of wood. If it is not done in the right way, creosote will prove very dangerous and these are a few important considerations.
