The Chimney Cleaning Log

The Chimney Cleaning Log

The Chimney Cleaning Log has been designed with one main purpose, that is to help prevent chimney fires.
The Chimney Cleaning Log achieves this by preventing and cleaning any build-up of the creosote deposits that accumulate in your chimneys flu.
The Chimney cleaning log has been designed to be suitable for:
Wood stoves, Furnaces, Fireplace inserts, Gas Starter Fires, Wood and Oil mixed fireplaces, Wood and Coal Stoves, Boilers and Open Fireplaces.
The Chimney Cleaning Log helps to remove and loosen deposits gradually over time.
Even 1-2 weeks after the log has been burnt, the additives from the cleaning log continue to work in your chimney ensuring a safer home and reducing the risk of chimney fires. 

The more Creosote build-up your have, the more important it is to treat and clean.

The total Creosote build-up depends upon a number of factors.

• The number of fires
• Type of appliance
• Type of wood you burn.

Wood burning stoves are well known to produce high amounts of creosote inside the flue pipes. Burning only one Chimney Cleaning Log will reduce overall creosote weight, thickness, and volatile organic compounds.

To keep your wood stove in good condition follow the guidance below.

WEEKEND USE                     Use 1 Chimney Cleaning Log. Either start or middle of season
1 FIRE PER DAY                    Use 2 Chimney Cleaning Logs. Start and middle of season.
CONTINUOUS FIRE              Use 1 Chimney Cleaning Log every 2 months

Open fire firesides often produce less creosote but can generally be harder to clean
Due to the high air flow draft, open fireplaces produce significantly less creosote than a woodstove. However the flu system still requires attention.
The use of the Chimney cleaning log in an open fire is to primarily to render the creosote more brittle and so aid mechanical cleaning, and to lower the amount of volatile organic compounds present in the chimney.

SMALL FIRES/SMALL FLUE                     Use 1 Chimney Cleaning Log every 60 fires
LARGE FIREPLACE/LARGE FLUE          Use 2 logs at the same time
