burned pine too long and slow

[williemon]

I had a pine log that smoldered all day today. Left the door to my northstar sticky and could see the residue on the glass. Looked wet. I built a nice hot fire with pine and let it burn all evening. Chimney was cleaned at end of last year. Should I be concerned with this mishap?

Should I be concerned with this mishap?

No. Not even a little.

It takes a lot more than one cold smoldering fire to line the chimney with an excessive amount of creosote. Get a few hot hot fires going to cook out any traces of the sticky.

Yeah youre fine. What Cory says. If you have lots of wet pine or wet wood in general then you will have a problem but a whoops on your part wont cause you any concern. Sounds like youve done this but I would burn a hot fire to clean off that glass.
