This is my first year of burning wood. I had a lopi endeavor installed last spring and so far I have used it about 10 times and I love it. Yesterday I decided to test out my new sooteater on the chimeny. The thing worked great for bottom up cleaning. I also took my chimney cap off and inspected the chimney. I noticed a little black glazed creosote which extended about a foot down the chimney. My plan is to burn some creosote logs over the next few burns and clean it again. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!
Also, this morning i noticed water at the bottom of the stove and I immediately thought that the cap came off last night in the strong winds. Not the case, the cap is on however I did leave my flue control open last night and the winds were gusting to 50mph with heavy rain. Please tell me that I'm bound to have a little water in and around the stove in this case. thanks!!
