I use something called “Cre-Away” & is a four component powder that safely modifies glazed stage 3 creosote.
When applied Cre-away will react with the tar and chemically modify it changing into a substance that can be more easily removed.
How this works
- A reactive agent neutralizes the acidic creosote making it less flammable in your chimney and less corrosive to metal components.
- A dehydrator adsorbs the moisture and oils contained in the different forms of creosote. A combustion inhibitor helps reduce the chance of chimney fire.
- A magnesium catalyst helps break down stage 3 creosote Tar when the flue is heated
