Hello to all my friends here at Hearth. I just installed my wood stove last December. I purchased Ash and Oak about a month before stove was installed. The ash was cut on demand and had a dozen or so face cords delivered. The oak was seasoned, I do not know how long but I purchased 6 faced cord.
Dennis, (BackWood Savage) along with others here at Hearth warned me that the Ash that I purchased would not be seasoned enough and that I would face some challenges burning due to its higher moisture content.
Even though I am able to get my stove up to its proper operating temps, I know from monitoring Stack gauge and Stove Top gauge, I am still suffering from Creosote issues.
I took a picture of outside Chimney Stack and asking if I am in danger of it catching fire? It is pretty disgusting what has formed at the top of my Chimney and below Chimney Cap and flakes of black are starting to litter the ground beneath Chimney.
Thanks for any input
Sincerely, Fredo
