Creosote Remover, Fireplace, Wood Stove & Chimney Cleaner, 2 lb Tub

first off, not sure why amazon asked me to rate features, one of them being "easy to remove", lol. maybe they talking about removing the creosote.. I am not sure if this product is really working in the chimney, but I will assume it is because there is a science behind the chemicals used in these products that has already been proven to reduce creosote build up. So I am going to assume that it is working. The nice thing about this product is it is a good value, you can put a little on a fire one or two times a week assuring to keep applying the chemical to the chimney. Where as a creosote log that is expensive requires you to put the whole treatment up the chimney in one fail swoop. I kinda like the concept of adding a little bit as you go. The only thing I noticed that concerns me is, since I can't put the plastic scoop over the fire to dump it, I put it on my ash shovel and dump it over the fire that way... It seems to have stuck to and stained my ash shovel, I am guessing some part of the chemical have melted and adhere to the shovel. I guess that is how it works in the chimney it adheres itself in a thin layer and prevents creosote build up via some sort of catalytic reaction. Again I have not gone up the chimney and inspected or done any scientific study of this product, but I like the fact I can just apply a little one or two times a week depending on how much wood I burn.. Especially if I over dampen and the stove smolder for a long time, I like to get it reheated and then apply a little of this stuff to make sure to clean out the tar and creosote I caused by over dampening the fire. With the big log, you put it all in at once and then you are stuck if you accidentally run an over smoldered fire unless you want to burn a whole new expensive log. So being able to apply just a little is a great idea I like it. I guess one could cut the creosote log up into smaller pieces, but why when you can just grab a scoop of this product and apply to hot coals and a fire. By the way mine arrived powdered and not hardened up like a brick, I read a lot of people saying it was hardened up. I am guessing they product must have some how gotten wet/damp before they got it. I have had mine for quite a while now and it is still scoopable, although I have noticed a few chunks sticking together, but noting like the big hard brick others are talking about. I guess time will tell. Over All, I love this product and at a minimum it give me peace of mind.

Easy to use and def helped open fire . But sad can't recover it think the whole uk delivery damaged by Bresit !

It the second time I ordered this because it breaks down the creasote build up

Efficace 👍

This does work, but when the soot liquifies, it will run back down the flue, and any joint or angle can leak. If you have angles in your flue from an offset stove, watch for drips that will make a mess. (Glass cleaner works great to clean that up). Since I have a wood stove and 6" flue, I use half of the recommended amount and only half the time interval. My flue stays clear, but the crusted residue can fall off the inside to block the airflow.
