creosote build up

[bigealta]

Your wood is not seasoned enough. If it was you would not be getting the creosote coming back after every sweep.
What is the stovetop temp for your normal burns?

The Sooteater will not take glaze creosote off. Until you solve that problem I wouldn’t rely on the sooteater.

Since there appears to be a history of creosote issues you might want to get a sweep to send a camera down it to make sure there isn’t any fire damage.

That most likely will not clean that glaze

i can double check it. i opened it up when the most recent problems started, expecting to see creosote there...but it was clean. i will open it up again soon to see if i can get a better idea of what is going on.

What moisture content is your wood at and is the bottom of your liner sealed off?

No but once he gets it cleaned or replaced it will keep it from coming back.
