Flamefast Stove & Chimney Sweeping Log Helps to Remove Creosote, Soot and Tar Deposits (4 x Logs)

Product Information

An experienced and well-trained chimney sweep is also inspecting every inch of your fireplace for any cracks, chips, problems, or weaknesses within the actual fireplace or parts of the flue. It is not possible to tell how effective this cleaning log actually is, but your next sweep might at least give you an indicator. Chimney sweep logs are a particular type of log designed to avoid the buildup of creosote, a variety of flammable material that can accumulate on the inside walls of chimneys after burning conventional fuels, like wood.

You put this cleaning log in to a ‘cold’ woodburner and light the paper wrap and leave it until it has completely burned. These logs contain special additives which rise into the chimney cavity, preventing new creosote from forming. Too low – under 120 degrees C: incomplete combustion can cause smoke, excessive carbon monoxide, flue clogging soot and highly inflammable creosote deposits inside the flue pipe (typical cause of chimney fires). These types of logs contain a chemical catalyst with can reduce the early stages of creosote buildup up to 60% with repeated use. Chimney fires, most often caused by a dirty flue, don’t get the oxygen needed to burn explosively like a house fire.

When you get an inspection from a highly skilled chimney sweep you will have peace of mind knowing that your fireplace is now safe and damage free, able to withstand the use of the fireplace. However, burning wood in a fireplace can lead to a potentially dangerous buildup of creosote – a highly flammable, tar-like residue that collects in fireplace pipes. You can check for these signs yourself if you want to know if you had a chimney fire, but a trained chimney sweep will also look for these signs throughout your fireplace and flue.

Wait 1 to 2 weeks after using the CSL before doing a mechanical sweeping, as the creosote will be easier to remove after the treatment is complete. Professionals can clear out all stages of creosote, including the hard to remove stages two and three creosote. These logs may also be referred to as a creosote sweeping log, a chimney sweeping log, a creosote log, or a creosote cleaning log. With regular use it will prevent the build up of tar, creosote and soot in your chimney/flue, while increasing the thermal efficiency of your stove, reducing smoke emissions and preventing dangerous flue fires.

After you have used the CSL, it is beneficial to have subsequent wood fires every couple of days for the next one to two weeks.Not only can a chimney sweep get rid of stage one creosote, but a pro can clean up stages two and three as well.

It’s recommended for best results, to place the CSL on the hot embers after you have burned a regular fire. I would stress DO NOT put this log in a running fire, ONLY a cold woodburner without any other combustible materials, or your woodburner could get extremely hot. The chimney sweep will alert you of the problem so that you can get the chimney fixed before using it. Those using standard batteries always put in a NEW set, and then test it, before the start of every winter season.
