Cleaning day

[drstorm]

We are in the 50s today so I let the stove burn out overnight.
I took the inside pipes off to clean as well as sweeping bottom up outside.
How about some thoughts on what you see.

Looks pretty glazed and gooey to me. I would be thinking not cured wood or not burning hot enough or both.

 

[drstorm]

Yeah, I thought glazed and gooey also.I burn a lot of the eco-bricks but I know I stalled the cat twice since the last cleaning so maybe I am trying to push it too low or running the fans too much.
I guess I should hire a professional sweep to take a look too.

Yeah more gooey than I would have thought for a BK.

the class A doesn't look to bad once past the thimble, The second pic I'm assuming is the inside portion from stove collar to the through the wall T, if I'm not mistaken I think I'm seeing single wall pipe, if that's the case your flue gases are cooling to fast due to the stove running low, change out the single wall to double wall and continue burning as normal.

Got it.
Thanks.
You aren't the first to mention the double wall.
I'll look into doing that in the next few weeks.
