Rutland Creosote Remover, Fireplace, Wood Stove & Chimney Cleaner, 2 lb Tub

This stuff works great! I add it about once a week depending on how often I use the wood burner. You notice the difference quickly by the ash soot that falls off the door and sides of burner. It works quickly and helps to keep the chimney clean. Worth the money.

I almost never leave reviews (and when I do it's because I'm angry) but this is an exception. I had a woodstove chimney fire many years ago and decided to start using this after the last time the chimney was cleaned about 5 years ago. I read every web page that said anything about using creosote remover and the vast majority said it's a scam. I tried it anyway. Then I neglected to get it cleaned for at least 5 years while using it. I just had it and my fireplace chimneys cleaned before the heating season. The fireplace chimney was disgusting, the guy showed me the big pile of soot that fell out. I have never used it up there because we maybe have 30 fires a year in it. I asked about the woodstove fearing the worst but he said it was spotless. I burn it every day I'm home (I work at home) and it's under 55 outside, so about 90-100 fires a year. I use it more often than recommended just in case. It's worth the extra $10 for the peace of mind.

Good preventive. Would be nice if it came with a measuring spoon to make sure the proper amount is used each time

Material appears to work just fine. I have noticed a decrease in creosote buildup in our chimney over the past year after using .

I have used this product for 30 years, it works. Turns creasote into powder. Easier to clean the chimney. Unfortunately I received a cracked container. The powder was all over the inside of the box, all over everything else that was in the box. The box was not damaged, it was put in the box cracked. This is a toxic chemical, label says avoid contact with skin and eyes. If it comes in contact with skin flush with water for 15 minutes and contact a physician. Next time I will get it from local hardware store so I can inspect the container before I buy it.

Excellent product! I have used it for a number of years. I my opinion, is superior to all other competitors!

Product works to breakdown the shiny, sticky creosote deposits into brush able loose scale. With the right wire brush and repeated applications, you can get the flue down to bare clay. Put product on a good, heavy bed of coals and close the door quickly or it will take your breath away. This stove is fired heavily for three months for the last 40 + years. A two-pound tub will just about last the heating season.

I have always had a problem with creosote from my woodstove. Cleaning my chimney was a monthly job during the heating season. After using this Rutland product, the creosote build-up almost disappeared. I ordered my second tub because I am so satisfied with how well it works. Very easy to use and highly effective.
