An EZ way to get rid of CREOSOTE!

Why on earth would you worry about creosote build up in an outside burner? If it was me, let it build up, who cares....

lost several sets of eyebrows with a wood boiler over the years.😂😂

Very dry wood and air injection into the hot gasses before they go up the chimney. In over 20 years of constant use we never had creosote, only a bit of fly ash.

Add a temporary angled lip above the door to protect your paint.

Cardboard in your fireplace/wood stove or boiler, what ever you want to call it. I call it a good way to burn your house and yourself to the ground. I suggest not taking this guys advice in this video!¡ They do sell special products that are intended to safely remove creosote. Please read the instructions before using flammable product in or around your home!!

If your getting cresote build up, your wood is still green. Evey year I buyu good oak that is cured. I do run some hackberry and smaller mesquite pieces thru one season and I have one of those chimmeny sweep brush that I brush the 1st 10ft of my fireplace.

A simple trick for any home owners, buy a plastic tub of the cresote powder and throw in potatoes skins. yes these will help eliminate the cresote in you stack.

Just hot fire 🔥

A video on how to burn a cardboard box. now, truely, I have seen it all. OMG

Hand full of mothballs twice a winter....that's it ! My parents and grandparents have been doing this for a very long time.

I find way to get rid of creosote is to paint it onto my wooden fence it works wonders, stops it rotting and gives it a nice
colour. Bonus you get that lovely smell for ages too.

This is exactly the way I recycle cardboard.

I have a indoor wood stove and it's my only source of heat I'm in northern Minnesota and I clean out the creosote from my chimney and I keep it in five gallon buckets and I reburn it works just fine and I burn every kind of wood from ash to tamarack and everything else in between dry,green punky or seasoned well

I just sweep the chiminy 3 times a winter because I run the stove low, when it gets to coals I open the vent wide to make it all burn...

Is the goal not to have a chimney fire 🤔 not cause one

We used to do that all the time

This video is the prime example of why NOT to take advice from some individuals..

Might be good for outdoor furnace, but with a brick/lined chimney or stainless chimney stack... it's a no no.

Burning too much cardboard in your outside boiler is a great way to crack your water jacket. The extreme quick heat is very hard on on metal. I would not recommend this.

works fine with boiler but DO NOT DO THIS WITH YOUR HOUSE STOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't have a ready supply of waste cardboard for whatever reason. You can use most anything that will burn hot and fast. Dried up corn stalks, dried up cattails from around a pond. If you have sassafras growing in a fence row that works very nicely if it's had some time to season. And sassafras is quite easy to split.

Learned my lesson decades ago - do not use wet wood and always keep a strong fire going - not smoldering on low over night. Result of my failure to do this, was a Bunsen burner of a chimney fire which resulted in a creosote smell through the house for a couple of days ..... and the cleanest chimney in the county ! The chimney sweep took one look up the chimney, declared it clean and good so charged only a nominal fee for his [short] time

Throw aluminum cans in once in a while…..the manganese in the aluminum cans combines with the creosote and it will flak off

Be careful with quick burns,sometimes you will stress the seams and weldments with excess heat.Good way to start a leak in your boiler.

You can use a tablespoon of TSP (not tsp substitute) on hot coals once a week through the heating season. Any build up just crumbles off. Been doing it for years.

Once i put wood old plaster lathe in the fireplace at my mother in laws to get fire started it was about 2am when someone drving by knocked on the door & said there was sparks shooting out the chimney & sure enough , hot ashes falling in flower beds & leaves we did not have a catastrophe but i was pretty worried. Be careful of starting chimney 🔥. Burn it on the high end of temp once a day or every other day for a short time helps keeps it clean.

Just had a chimney installed with a self cleaner, it uses forced air propane/NG to blow heat up the liner and clean out anything left behind, still needs a sweep once a year but the liner comes out spotless with a quick brush

An old man taught me that if you toss a potato into your wood stove the chemicals in a burning potato will dry out the creosote allowing it to fall back into the fire. I didn't believe him but I tried it anyway and it actually works better than the dangerous idea this guy shows you.
No drama toss a potato in about once a week. No deposits.

I still have to ask: does carboard burn hot enough to make a serious difference?

Ive seen a stove like yours burn a hole in furnace with door open. Never leave door open on outside furnace. $10,000 mistake. Of course it was wood, door was accidently left open.

You should wear eye protection that radiant heat will damage your eyes beyond repair!

Why worry about creosote in a outside boiler?

I do this in my firepit and it helps remove the soot from the bricks. It's fun to watch.

Good video. Was that snow falling? How are you outside? Isn't it freezing?

People also found that burning large amounts of cardboard is a great way to get a chimney fire! Splendid.

Hand full of D batteries

Not a good idea to superheated steel. It causes rapid oxidation. That's where the rust comes from. Exactly what a oxy-acetylene torch does to cut steel. Your stove pipe suffer first because if how thin it is. A brush is the best!

What you just showed was terrible
This is the easiest way to burn a house down,
With anyone who does not know .

You have a very short chimney,
And the fire box is away from the house.
Anyone with a chimney of todays standard is metal. and a majority inside the building.
And when that chimney gets red hot as it will when burning out creosote, trying to do this with a chimney inside any house,
You will lose your house,

When you burn out creosote in a chimney of any length especially built inside a house,
It takes someone who knows how to do a controlled burn, and you can only let the fire roar for only a few seconds, cut it back, and then let it roar again and do this off and on until the fire no longer roars,

What you did and showed is disgraceful and not healthy to many people who will lose their houses, because of what you showed,.

you should pack the boiler full logs for long hot fire

i singed my butt hair

Thankyou " cardboard man " :) .Health for you and yours !

I have heard from multiple sources when I first got my boiler 15+ years ago that the glue in cardboard can actually cause the boilers to rust out prematurely but you do whatever you want. I choose not to burn cardboard or plywood in my boiler. I know people that do and have had leaks fixed multiple times and I have yet to have a problem.

How can I clean fireplace inside the house?

Love the music too. Thanks for posting.

Absolutely get the fire going quick and hot. As long as it's snowing shit piled up in there bro

I would subscribe if I had an outdoor boiler. I should get one since I already have the water heat system ...and an electric boiler, which I don't use because of my first $600 bill (one person 1400 sq ft)

Use beach wood, it will clean everything 😁

You ever heard of using tsp? (sodium-phosphate tribasic)

Best way to clean a chimney is to tie a chickens legs together with a rope and lower it down the chimney. It'll flap all around and clean it. Don't have a fire going of course. Or you can use potato peels. Advice from my 88 year old grandfather.

in a fireplace also where the chimney goes up 18 ft?

Dry skid wood is the best I've found. It makes much less ash than cardboard.
