I live in Alaska and heat with spruce exclusively; not because I can't afford fuel oil but because I like the quality of warmth of a Blaze King woodstove with a glass door. My stack is 25 feet high. I noticed that the cap on the stack had some closure of the vents and burned one of these logs. DON'T TAKE THE WRAPPER OFF THE LOG!! BURN IT WITH THE PLASTIC WRAPPER as it says in the instructions that I was too dumb to read before using the first log. Read the directions twice and follow them. Big improvement in my stack air flow. My friend uses them too and reported great results. After a house caught fire New Year's Day, 2010 in the next subdivision, I determined to burn one of these logs every two weeks during heating season. The house which burned to the ground had a stack fire. A real stack fire sounds like a jet engine when all that creosote catches fire and will scare the hell out of you.

I burned one of these in January last season. After a couple days I started hearing creosote falling. On a warmer day I shut the stove down and opened the clean out and got a good bit of creosote out. I went to clean out my chimney after last season and my brush got seriously wedged in the top of the chimney,after I finally got it out I looked in there with a flashlight and there was only creosote at about the top 1 foot of the chimney and a very small amount lower down. The stuff was so loose I was able to knock it all out with the brush rod. Got it clean as a whistle. This season I will use one every 2 months like the box says. Great peace of mind.

The Creosote Sweeping Log works very well. They light readily and burn well, treating the existing creosote on the inside of the stove and chimney. Thereafter, the creosote hardens and falls off into the ash pile and burns up.

We live in Northern Wisconsin and our wood burning stove is our only source of heat through the winter so it is used continually from aprox end of Sept thru end of April. We use the Creosote Sweeping Log every 60 days and it works GREAT! I buy them from Amazon because after LOTS of research I have found Amazon's price can't be beat! Thank you so much & keep up the good work Amazon!

I use a couple of these every year. I use a woodstove during the winter almost daily to heat my house. When I look down the chimney it looks very clean. No real build up. I guess it must be what is keeping it so clean. Burn hot fires and use dry wood and you should be home free. A clean chimney is a result of several factors, including these logs.

I've been using this product for a few years and it works just as stated. This year I used the conditioner sticks, also. Both of these products are effective in keeping the chimney and firebox cleaner. Of course, we still perform an annual chimney cleaning and have found the results are excellent. There is less of a mess with soot and creosote when cleaning the trap in the basement. We will use again.

This order was shipped via my Amazon Prime and arrived promptly 2nd day! Love my Prime!

Works for me, every year, for the past 6 years. The actual brushing of the chimney takes me about 15 minutes and I am done and have a clean chimney, ready for the next season.

I've been using this product for four years. It clearly helps reduce glazing and creosote build-up in our wood burning fireplace. Soot build-up remains powdery and easy to vacuum from fireplace brick, firebox, etc. Chimney sweeps have commented during annual clean out that condition of liner is excellent and ease of cleaning has improved dramatically. Used once a month during wood burning season and intend to continue.

I burn one of these each year. They have been hard to find lately. This place is the best. Clean your fireplace now.

We have used these logs a few times now and find them to be successful in helping to loosen built up creosote in our woodstove pipes and chimney.
