    Can't stick around much these days lots of funerals. Natural causes taking friends.I hear the fire siren during the nights lately, then in morn. news, see homes lost close by. Got me to thinking some wise N caring folks round(like a log) here just might save a life N never know it if ya'll had a fact or myth place.Mabey answer questions like "I understand burning potatoe pealings in my woodstove helps to reduce or somehow affect the creosote in my chimney" .Is this fact or fiction? Well like I said off to another funeral.Prayers for a safe burning season for all! "Will burning those anti creosote logs in retail stores keep my stove pipe completely free of creosote"? Just asking.Thanks

    Just throw an aluminum can in with a good roaring fire, every so often. Same thing

    Does that release metals into the environment?
