General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: creosote
« on: February 02, 2019, 05:44:26 PM »
My dad always says when he was growing up they would throw an old zinc canning lid in the coal furnace once a week to keep the chimney clean and he always tells me to throw some aluminum cans in because it will do the same thing

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: man dies in "outdoor furnace explosion"

I remember my dad trying to get the fire restarted his coal furnace he had a small flame but when he poured the kerosene in it smothered the flame so he walked across the basement grabbed an Ohio blue tip wooden match goes back over to the coal furnace and by then it has a cloud of white vapor in the firebox against his better judgment he strikes the match and tossed it in kaboom huge fireball actually blew the pipe out of the chimney and moved the furnace about three inches on the floor singed his beard and scared the snot out of everyone in the house thank god that was the extent of it could have been much worse he decided at that point to use newspaper and kindling I don't think he had any cob webs left after that incident

I was in my local Home Depot today and I saw a receptacle that plugs into an AC outlet for running icemelt cables on gutters I believe it was made by Frost King would probably work good for your application it has a thermostat built into it and it wasn't very expensive I believe like $18

The only reason I could think they would say 6011 would be because it may be a little more forgiving if the area wasn't prepped good myself I have to agree with everyone else I would take the time clean it good and use 7018

OK so I've been a member here for probably two years and I've been reading all the posts and learning a great deal of information that I am grateful for but this post I couldn't let it go without replying this is what's wrong with the world today ungrateful people who don't appreciate anything and it's only getting worse I am on your team on this one sounds to me like there are some young ones there that need to be taught a lesson maybe a trip out behind the woodshed would straighten them out
