Rutland Creosote Remover, Fireplace, Wood Stove & Chimney Cleaner, 2 lb Tub

This does work, but when the soot liquifies, it will run back down the flue, and any joint or angle can leak. If you have angles in your flue from an offset stove, watch for drips that will make a mess. (Glass cleaner works great to clean that up). Since I have a wood stove and 6" flue, I use half of the recommended amount and only half the time interval. My flue stays clear, but the crusted residue can fall off the inside to block the airflow.

I almost never leave reviews (and when I do it's because I'm angry) but this is an exception. I had a woodstove chimney fire many years ago and decided to start using this after the last time the chimney was cleaned about 5 years ago. I read every web page that said anything about using creosote remover and the vast majority said it's a scam. I tried it anyway. Then I neglected to get it cleaned for at least 5 years while using it. I just had it and my fireplace chimneys cleaned before the heating season. The fireplace chimney was disgusting, the guy showed me the big pile of soot that fell out. I have never used it up there because we maybe have 30 fires a year in it. I asked about the woodstove fearing the worst but he said it was spotless. I burn it every day I'm home (I work at home) and it's under 55 outside, so about 90-100 fires a year. I use it more often than recommended just in case. It's worth the extra $10 for the peace of mind.

Good preventive. Would be nice if it came with a measuring spoon to make sure the proper amount is used each time

Bought a chimney cleaning kit and used this as well. It worked great. Removed lots of creosote. Fireplace draws much better. No more smoke rolling back into the living room. I had no concerns about using it. Just dump a little cup of it (cup Included) onto hot coals, close the door of your firebox, wait. It’s that easy.

Material appears to work just fine. I have noticed a decrease in creosote buildup in our chimney over the past year after using .

I have used this product for 30 years, it works. Turns creasote into powder. Easier to clean the chimney. Unfortunately I received a cracked container. The powder was all over the inside of the box, all over everything else that was in the box. The box was not damaged, it was put in the box cracked. This is a toxic chemical, label says avoid contact with skin and eyes. If it comes in contact with skin flush with water for 15 minutes and contact a physician. Next time I will get it from local hardware store so I can inspect the container before I buy it.

Bought this on a recommendation from a long time wood stove user. I’m new to having one.

So, new house, new chimney. I burn about 3 cords of wood a winter. Second winter starting. I do anything I can to try to prevent a chimney fire and to have several ways to put one out the best one can on hand. I live out in the country. If your house catches on fire, it's gone. With all that said, I went ahead and had my chimney swept as a precaution. I also use this stuff religiously. I go up and beyond the instructions. I use it every fire I build. So, almost daily. I also use double of what it says. I went through 3 tubs of this last year. My chimney sweeper said that this stuff or a sweep log really doesn't work. I would hope it does and will continue to use it just in case, but I can not find any proof online. I don't want to see a video from the company who makes it. I want to see an independent review.

Easy to use and def helped open fire . But sad can't recover it think the whole uk delivery damaged by Bresit !

A heads up that you should close your windows before burning and ensure your seal is tight on the woodstove door. It did bother my lungs a bit. But it definitely made a noticeable difference and will no be part of our bi-annual chimney cleaning routine.

始めで使いました。 まだ全体的に効果を掌握していませんが、明らかに症状が改善してるよいに感じます、

It the second time I ordered this because it breaks down the creasote build up

Efficace 👍
