*Chimney Cleaning Log*

For customers who frequently burn wood or have heavy tar deposits in their chimneys; I recommend the purchase of a chimney cleaning log.  They have been very successful in reducing the build-up of tar in chimneys and increasing flue performance.  Hence, I have no qualms promoting them.  Place one or two (depending on size of chimney) in the stove/fireplace and light.  For optimum results book me to sweep your chimney approximately ten days to one month later.

These logs can be obtained from most stove centres & farming supply outlets.

If you have a level 3 creosote problem the following procedure has been found to be very effective:

Burn a good quality chimney cleaning log every four days. After the second log, have the chimney swept then repeat the process again three more times. Also light a small fire every two days between the above procedure. This method has proved to be highly effective and economic.
