A. 

Creosote- Formation and Need For 

Removal;

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 and chimney connector should be inspected 

at least once every two months during the heating season 

to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote 

has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk 

of a chimney fire. 

If  you  experience  a  chimney  fire;

  Close  the  air  control 

and bypass damper and notify the fire department. Do NOT 

apply water to the fire, in the firebox or in the chimney. Do not 

operate the appliance until the chimney and connector have 

been inspected and approved by a chimney professional.
Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as charcoal, 

which can cause increased carbon monoxide production or 

overfiring. Never use highly volatile substances in your stove, 

such as gasoline, which could cause an explosion.
When  solid  fuels  are  burned  completely,  they  produce 

water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow burns, a 

substantial amount of carbon monoxide may be produced. 

If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide (which is odorless) 

can prove fatally poisonous. Proper ventilation and draft will 

prevent this from happening. If you smell  smoke, turn up 

the air control lever setting, and thoroughly ventilate your 

dwelling.  During  future  burns,  be  careful  not  to  overload 

the stove with fuel, so you will not be tempted to constantly 

operate at a low air control setting.
Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing, exhaust 

fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air starvation. If 

your stove is sluggish and you get occasional odor, check 

these possibilities and increase the air flow in your home.

Seasonal cleaning

At least once per year, the stove, venting connectors and 

chimney  should  be  thoroughly  cleaned.  If  the  areas  are 

found to have an excessive build up of ash or creosote, it 

is recommended to increase the frequency of the cleaning. 

This will extend the life of the appliance and its components. 

A vacuum specifically designed for ash is preferred, however 

a standard shop-style vacuum with a HEPA filter may also 

work just fine. 
During cleaning, caution must be taken not to damage the 

white / gray colored ceramic combustion package in the rear 

of the firebox. When using a brush in the chimney or venting 

connector, the by-pass damper should be placed in the open 

position to help prevent ash, creosote or other debris from 

falling down onto and around the combustion package. This 

also protects the top of the combustion package from tool 

or brush damage and diverts most of the removed materials 

into the firebox for easy clean-up  and removal. Once the 

venting system has been cleaned, remove the first section 

of connector pipe from the appliance flue collar. Carefully 

vacuum the ash and debris from around the sides and top 

of the combustion package. 
The shoe brick must be removed to allow vacuum access for 

cleaning the front portion of the combustion package. 
Always use caution when refueling or when vacuuming the 

firebox and combustion package. Some users have damaged 

their combustion package with vacuum cleaner tools, and 

fire pokers. 

Solid fuel burning space heaters must be cleaned regularly, 

as soot, ash and creosote may accumulate.
