Hello! I recently cleaned my wood stove pipe and there was a dusting of soot on the top of the stove after. Is this cause for concern? If I had collected it, I'm guessing about one or two teaspoons worth was present. Thanks!
 
It happens. Just be sure all the pipe joints are properly installed and it has the proper chimney adaptor where the stove pipe attaches.
