I have been burning my Jotul Castine f400 regularly since late November. My wood is fairly dry, 10-20% moisture range, oak and hickory, but would it be wise to clean the chimney now, or wait until April when the cold season ends? In our part of Texas, it is not like the North where you burn 24/7. I come home and light it if need be, but some nights no fire is needed. Other days, I will run it all day long.
This is my first year to burn a stove and I don't know what type of creosote I am throwing up the stove pipe.
