Cresote cure?

[alfrehner]

I heard an old wise tale the other day and thought I would run it past all the experts on here to see if it is true or just a tale. I was told if you burn an aluminum can in your stove it will clean the cresote out of your pipe. Something to do with the fumes it puts out? I was just curious if anyone has ever tried this or was he just pulling my leg?

Cresote cure=stop burning,and be willing to freeze your buns off. :lol:

Seriously, burn hot and burn clean dry wood and no "worries mate"..

Nothing will take the place of proper burning techniques. It's just like auto maintenance. They have yet to make a "mechanic-in-a-can".

A better suggestion? Drink whatever is in the can after you've finished cutting next years wood.

Ditto all that. I only burn dry stuff and make a super hot and controlled fire every day. No prob, Bob! :coolsmile:
