I had my chimney sweeped today. I wanted to be here for it so I could do it myself next year but this year it just wasn't possible.
Anyway, I came home to a note from the guy saying I had a light glazing on the inside of the stove of creosote from not burining the stove hot enough.
Now I burned this stove so hot at times last year that I burned the paint off of the elbow connecting to the thimble! However, 75% of the time I kept it at just coals to prolong the burn time but also to prevent us from being roasted out.
So when he said "glazing" what does that mean? Also, is there an optimal temp. I should be burning at?
Thanks
