creosote
« on: November 21, 2014, 08:15:21 AM »
has anyone heard of using a little bit of barn lime (spoonful or so) in your owb to combat creosote? I have a new p&m 2840 burning 22-25% moisture hardwood so I get slight creosote on water jacket walls better now with 190 with 10 dif. I have a buddy that has a cb that is about 5 years old and he was told by the dealer to thro I bit in, he would also sell him the cb stuff to combat it but lime is pretty much the same thing so he does that and thinks it helps. wondering what this would do if anything? I am new at all of this but this site and everyone on here has been a great help.

Ashtrol All it does is neutralize any acids that may be in the wood ash or clinkers, its pretty much just barn or plant lime. It keeps the firebox from rusting ...

http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/central-boilers-ashtrol.211937/   seems it some where between this.... Ag lime" and "Barn lime" are the same exact thing. They are NOT hydrated lime.  .....and baking soda

I had been told to through salt onto the fire, fireplace that is, and it will help with the creosote. Wonder if rock salt on the coals would help.

Don't think I'd be throwing any kind of salt in, not sure what they use in your state but they salt the roads here and it does all kinds of nasty things to any kind of metal.

Pink sea salt is all the rage now, tastes the same as regular sea salt to me.
