Ok some may think this is nuts, but i was turned onto an idea by a burner friend of mine. He advised me that if i put a couple soup cans in my stove when i burn, the gas from the cans keep the creosote down to a minimum. So i tried it and it actually works. It keeps the door glass very clean and i noticed creosote falling from the inside of the box. I did research on this and all i could find on it is that the cans create a thermite condition in the firebox and keeps the buildup down to a minimum. Has anyone tried this?? Second, my door gasket is starting to seperate from the door. The stove is less than a year old. Should i purchase a new gasket along with my high temp gasket epoxy tomorrow?? Any input is greatly appreciated fellas.
