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

This stuff works great! I add it about once a week depending on how often I use the wood burner. You notice the difference quickly by the ash soot that falls off the door and sides of burner. It works quickly and helps to keep the chimney clean. Worth the money.

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

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.

Product works to breakdown the shiny, sticky creosote deposits into brush able loose scale. With the right wire brush and repeated applications, you can get the flue down to bare clay. Put product on a good, heavy bed of coals and close the door quickly or it will take your breath away. This stove is fired heavily for three months for the last 40 + years. A two-pound tub will just about last the heating season.

Very impressive - better than the anti-creosote logs and cheaper

I have always had a problem with creosote from my woodstove. Cleaning my chimney was a monthly job during the heating season. After using this Rutland product, the creosote build-up almost disappeared. I ordered my second tub because I am so satisfied with how well it works. Very easy to use and highly effective.

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

Not much to say other than it works! I needed to clean up an old fireplace with glazed creosote, after one use it already made a lot of it flake off. One more use and then a quick going over with a brush and it's all gone. Done and done.
