Ok I need some advice/help, Pleeeeeeeeze! My husband decided to purchase a new woodstove (no i dont know the brand) with some kind of heatblower fan thingy in the pipe to allieviate our heat bills this winter . We've been burning (questionable) wood everyday in it for the past 2 months. He noticed a trickle of smoke coming from a joint in the pipe last week but "Nothing bumped the pipes hunni, really....(uh huh)" Im not quite sure how it got to this stage but he decided to buy some creosote removal log and burn it ok? My current problem is this.. when he did this what resulted was a gooey icky tar-ish substance that now has run from every joint in the pipe, and every draft crevice that exists on this stove and consequently on the floor.... how the *obscenity deleted* do i get rid of this stuff and is it safe to burn in this thing again?
