I've seen some articles were the creosote cleaning logs don't work. My question is an old timer(In his 90's) told me that he has burnt an aluminum can in his wood burner about once a month for years and claims it helps. Has anyone heard of this and does it work. Hard to get away from a lot of old timers knowledge but their not always right either. What's your thoughts. I clean the chimney every other year but if it helps I would like to know. Thanks
