Tip:
🔥 Don’t run your stove low and slow all the time — it’s creosote city.
A lot of people think keeping the stove ticking over at a low burn saves fuel or keeps the room gently warm. But running it like that all the time leads to cooler flue temps, which means creosote builds up faster — especially if you’re burning wood.
Instead:
Give it a hot burn once a day — open the air vents and let it roar for 15–20 minutes.
This gets the flue hot enough to burn off lingering nasties and keeps the system cleaner.
Especially important if you’re burning seasoned wood — it still gives off vapour that needs shifting.
It’s like clearing your throat after a cold — let it breathe or it'll choke up.
