If you are burning now you are probably having long idle times, here is what I would do. Let your fire die and clean out all the ashes you can. Let the water temp get as low as possible then restart the fire and get it as rip roaring as you can. This should start a crosolt fire which should burn itself out cleaning up most of the cresolt in the process. Have fun!
