Cresote Sweeping Log Results
I live in Alaska and heat with spruce exclusively; not because I can't afford fuel oil but because I like the quality of warmth of a Blaze King woodstove with a glass door. My stack is 25 feet high. I noticed that the cap on the stack had some closure of the vents and burned one of these logs. DON'T TAKE THE WRAPPER OFF THE LOG!! BURN IT WITH THE PLASTIC WRAPPER as it says in the instructions that I was too dumb to read before using the first log. Read the directions twice and follow them. Big improvement in my stack air flow. My friend uses them too and reported great results. After a house caught fire New Year's Day, 2010 in the next subdivision, I determined to burn one of these logs every two weeks during heating season. The house which burned to the ground had a stack fire. A real stack fire sounds like a jet engine when all that creosote catches fire and will scare the hell out of you.
