So I just ran a good chimney sweep and I have got a TON of creosote. I'd say about 2 liters or so. Can I just leave it in a pile inside the stove and get a good fire going and it will burn safely ? Or should it be removed ?
FYI I believe most of the creosote came from the top 2 feet of the flue where there is a piece of single wall stainless attached to the flex liner that goes down the clay chimney liner. There was alot more scraping resistance in the single wall than it had further down the liner. I added a layer of insulation around this section so I'm hoping this will cut down the creosote buildup.
