New to me Tarm Excel 2000 multi fuel I’m cleaning up and not sure if I need a new ceramic blast chamber or parts.

Thoughts from the more experienced?

Also before I google is there anything I can get to help soften up the creosote ?

Looks like it's ceramic time. Call Tarm for the parts.

I think your refractory still looks pretty good , and that little bit of creosote is nothing to be concerned about .
