I am technically challenged so I am not sure I am posting this in the right forum or if I will get a response, but it looks like everyone on here really knows their stuff!
I have been burning a Quadrafire woodstove in my house for a number of years, never had a problem, clean the chimney every year.
The issue, and this has happened twice (the first time I thought it was because I neglected to turn the stove down and thought I burned to hot causing my problem.
Anyways, I attached a picture for reference, as you can see in the pic, I seem to basically have "liquid" creosote coming out of the wall where the pipe meets the wall.
I am definatley going to call someone in the morning to come out and look at it as it scares the crap out of me, I am going to let the fire die out, and try and deal with it tomorrow.
If anyone knows why this may have happened it would set my mind at ease, I know there is not a chimney fire as I had one of those in a house as a kid and it sounds like the Space Shuttle is taking off from your living room.
I was wondering since I have not been burning the woodstove for a few days if the heat going up the chimney caused condenstaion,. the liquid is very thin like water, not thick and "tar like" creosote.
The chimney is not lined currently, it is just the masonary (brick) going up the outside of the house.
Any help/advice is very much appreciated!!
Thanks for the time!!
