Soot Question

Donovan- still got a couple of his albums around.

 

I was thinking frequent fire starts and slow laggy draft. As long as it's not like coak carbon that crunchy and flammable all is well.

 

Thanks clemmsonfor. Are you saying that frequent starts and poor draft contribute to excessive soot?

 

I would say in your case yes. You are burning hot so your not getting creosote, but the actual fire produces smoke which has soot. The slow draft at first in temps above 50 is slow and as it lingers it can deposit on the walls of the liner/chimney.

That's my thoughts, but I am not an expert either.

 

He lists it I think in the initial post

 

Ok here it is...not the first post. I knew I read it somewhere.
