I have only ever run heavy mineral oil for bar oil in my electric chain saw I use to cut timbers for my carpentry work

I am totally with using chain and bar oil only, but, if stihl make a bio-oil, I will consider it, next time I am buying some.

 

Winter Camp Stove

 

I think I like the pot ....more than the stove....don’t read too deep into that...lol

 

Anyone hear of burning aluminum cans too loosen creasote.

 

They sell creosote remover (really just something that makes it dry out and flake off) for very reasonable prices. Not sure why people keep coming up with 'alternatives' like rock salt and aluminum cans
Personally, I wouldn't do it. I expect that the benefit of burning the aluminum is more due to the hot fire required to 'really melt 'em down' drying your flue out than it is to any chemical reaction with the creosote

 

I use a brush. It cleans the pipe really well, surprising, huh?

 

I actually do not have a problem with creosote....my brother was asking if I have ever heard of the method(I never have) I burned shit wood for 3 years and only got a 5 gallon pale,just this year, I mirrored it every year....always looked clean. I did decide to brush every year now. I was just wondering if anyone ever even heard of it.

 

Burning crap wood since November. This is my cleanout

 

I rarely have any trouble with it either. But I also burn seasoned wood in a properly-functioning stove.

Usually this is what I get when I clean the chimney out in the fall, before the burn season starts, from an average of 5 cord per year over the last couple of winters:

 

I have been of the conclusion that my pipes draw better when clean. I have let the pipes go until needed, to be certain, and seen the result immediately.
Not that there is a lot of creosote, but the clean pipe draws better and reduces the chance of 'puffing' or 'backdraft'.
A clean catalytic combuster, too. We tried cleaning one a few weeks ago, anfd then the other day replaced it with a ceramic model.

Never

 

This article sure reinforced what I already believed.

 

If you burn dry , seasoned wood and have your chimney cleaned once a year you shouldn't really have any issues

 

it's amazing how many people will cut it, split it, and throw it right in the stove, though.
