Meeco Red Devil Creosote Destroyer

[Chicken Farmer]

I've searched around for some conversation about this product specifically, but didn't really find anything. Does anybody use it? Does it work? Obviously not intended to replace proper cleaning and maintenance. I guess I'm a little creosote paranoid. I'm still learning this furnace (see sig). Any help or comments would be welcomed.

Mods: This thread might belong in the "Gear" forum, but I placed it here for reference specifically toward furnaces.

This is appropriate since your question is specific to this product and a furnace.

Nobody using this stuff?

Most folks here in the boiler room are running higher efficiency boilers. For the most part we do not battle creosote. I've visually inspected my chimney a few times over the years and have yet to have a single bit of creosote anywhere other than my upper fire box. I only deal with flyash accumulations.

the few articles I've read about any magic dust that eats creosote, was considered a new type of snake oil. BUT- I've no experience with that stuff. Wouldn't hurt to try it for a certain period of time, but it might be hard to get 2 sample periods with the same conditions/wood quality/ burn times etc.
