Spring Cleaning for Wood Stoves and Creosote Hazards
Kansas State extension engineer Elwyn Holmes urges a spring creosote cleanout after a long wood burning season. Check firebox and pipes for wear, replace worn components, and update seals. Scrape and chip the flue with a properly sized wire brush, or use a weighted scraper, while using a vacuum to reduce dust. Verify smoke detector batteries and fire extinguisher readiness.
