I'm trying to figure out how to build a good fire quickly. I just switched from wood tee pee newspaper under to wood tee pee newspaper ON the grate. It worked great!

Creosote is the product of incompleat combustion. It's caused by the sap in the wood mixing with the water in green wood. The water turns to steam taking the sap and other stuff up the chimney where it cools against the sides of the pipes and solidifys. If allowed to build up over time it can cause a chimney fire, which can cause a house fire or wildlands fire. It can be cleaned by either building a hot fire everyonce in awhile or running a ball and chain with wire brushes attached up and down your chimney scraping it out.
I'm planning on building a Cordwood house up at the farm. The experts in this say that winter is the time to cut your wood (after the leaves fall) The sap/moisture is the lowest in the winter. Then stack it in lengths (protected) and strip the bark off in the spring. Any sap/moisture in the logs help with the removal of the bark. Then restack for 2-3 years to let the logs dry out before cutting to building lengths. This lets the wood get down to about 10% moisture content and prevents checking and cracking of the logs. |
