Why does glass on a wood burning stove get dirty?

The glass on a wood stove will get dirty because of creosote deposits - smoke. The solution is to aim for a cleaner burn, which might mean going to a cleaner burning wood, better seasoned wood, or increasing the draft and letting the stove burn hotter. You should also check the flue system and chimney to see that they are clean and free of obstructions, including both creosote and little piles of ash built up in such places as bends of the pipe.


Are creasolt toxic to children?

"Creasolt" I've never heard of. Creosol is found in creosote. It's a waste product of burning wood in your fireplace. Unless your kids are reaching up into the flu of a fireplace, there is no significant risk. What you should worry about is creosote catching fire in the chimney during a fire in the fireplace. Creosote should be cleaned periodically to prevent excessive buildup which creates a fire hazard.


Can you burn gumwood in a fireplace?

Answernot recommended due to excessive creosote buildupEdit - Water, not wood type, has the greatest impact on creosote production. If the Gum is properly seasoned (dried to approximately 20% moisture) it will not produce more creosote than any other seasoned wood. And Gum has more energy per volume than some Maples and Ashes.On the other hand, burning any green or wet wood significantly risks excessive creosote buildup, regardless of the wood type.


Do aluminum cans in a wood burning stove fire help to prevent a buildup of creosote?

I asked a friend who installs furnaces and sells wood stoves this question. He said that he knows several people who swear by it. An older gentleman in my neighborhood said to put Potassium chloride, or sodium chloride, 2-3 Tablespoons per week, on a hot fire. I was wondering where to buy it, then he said, "Why, that's just Ice Melt." So, it appears that some minerals, Sodium, Potassium, aluminum, may have some value? I tried to find ingredients on one of those creosote sweeping logs. For 15 dollars, they are probably just soaked in mineral water then dried. I am going to try the aluminum cans. Our outdoor wood burner is in an outbuilding. The tall flu pipe appears to be building up creosote. We are told that it is "cold shock"???? I'll write back here after a few weeks, if I notice less creosote.
