I'd greatly prefer to round-off the corners of this info, but I'll try to tell the truth.![Wink ;) ;)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/wink.gif)
Chimney sweep came today. Long time well established sweep and chimney builder.
Got at least a gallon of creosote (shiny black) out of the 70's smoke breather downstairs.
Got at least a quart of creosote (shiny black) out of the new Jotul upstairs.
Had tough (with some gummy stuff) buildup on the chimney caps.
I'm sure I burned nearly two cords in each stove, 4 cords total. I got screwed with one wet cord delivered last year. I know I'm going to do better this time, but the wood seasoning learning curve seems to be in one-year increments.
This winter I hope to learn how to burn hotter fires. I was finally starting to get the courage and the hang of it last year. I've read of some getting as little as one cup of creosote. Amazing.
