First cleaning

[Lead Hot]

This is my first cleaning after burning 1 1/2 cord of tulip poplar and sweetgum since November seasoned to 15 to 18% (that's all I had). I have about a half filled coffee container. I thought with a fireview I'd have less. I have 6 foot of doublewall stove pipe and 15 foot of chimney pipe. So how did I do?

I'd say you did just fine!

Looks good to me. What's in the coffee can doesn't look like creosote, just fly ash.

It's light and fluffy powder so your probably correct.

That stuff won't burn......I'd say you burned real clean. Shoot, Dennis doesn't even bother cleaning that stuff. ;-P

I can't wait to see my results next year when I'm burning seasoned oak and hickory.
