Hi,
I'm into my 3rd month of heating with wood with an Ashley wood burner. It's been working well.
I've used some of the Chimney cleaner stuff you sprinkle in the hot coals twice a week. I don't know if I'm making things worse or not.....but now suddenly I've got this terrible creosote build-up on the lower door (ash pan door) and a bit on the main door. In the last few days it's built up to the point that it's getting stuck! Yikes that can't be good.
Have I not been getting the stove hot enough?
Any thoughts? It's warm today - got up to 58 - so I'm letting the coals die down tonight until I can do something about it.
Thanks
Jill
