I bought this stuff to use before brushing my chimney liner:

however I realized it might be wise to check to see if this is safe to use in my insert, before throwing it on the hot coals.
Does anyone know if this will cause any damage to my hearthstone clydesdale? I'm concerned about any chemical reaction it might have with the glass.
 
It won't hurt anything. If you've been burning correctly there's no need for it though.
 
So the creosote was stuck and the broom didn't remove it? Or was ash all that was in it?
 
Ash is about all I ever get out of a hearthstone flue.
