Hello I was wondering how people clean ther bypass out going too the chimeny it's egged shaped and was wanting to know how you guys clean them out for future reference thx! Also has anyone used like a creosote log or creosote break down stick in there furnace to help keep creosote down. I don't have much now but would like to keep furnace clean as possible. I wish I had one of these yrs ago so nice to save money on heating bills lol!

Do not do not use a creosote log.... There is some powers that can be used such as pro former but not this off the shelf stuff.

Cleaning the stove?  One morning when she's burned down really low, stuff her with cardboard, light it, open ash pan door and let her eat!  That will clean her out all the way out the top lol.

Lots of those creosote longs are nothing but salt, salt and steel don't do well together.
