Cosmic Charlie User ID: 75992005 United States 01/01/2019 11:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I burn a cord or more each winter and to light the dry oak I use DuraFlame brand log pieces ... I cut the log into 12-15 slices about the size of a hockey puck with my Chop Saw and then add 1 slice to the the loaded Vermont Casting Wood Stove. It lights the cord wood without kindling. DuraFlame Logs will NOT wreck a Wood Stove - however mine is older and does NOT have a catalytic converter like the new ones - not sure about the newer stoves |

Icey User ID: 77119763 United States 01/01/2019 11:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was told by a very old man who was a chimney cleaner for many years to add rock salt to your fire(occasionally, with a hot fire). It cleans the chimney. A life saving knowledge. I don't know how it works, but it really works. The buildup falls right out. I am SNOWIE. WELCOME TO THE NEW ICE AGE. TRY NOT TO STARVE. |
ol' scratch (OP) User ID: 65225716 United States 01/01/2019 11:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think that those chimney sweeper logs have magnesium salts in them. (Epsom salt, maybe sodium chloride as well. I have first hand experience as a witness to them working on a badly sooted and creasoted chimney pipe. After about a week of burning the CSL the sticky creosote had turned to a grey dust, and was easy to brush right out. This is the real deal, not a rehearsal. Do your best and don't screw it up. |
