toppop52,
What are creosote sticks?

You throw one in your wood stove once a week and it keeps the flu and chimney free of creosote buildup.

BBQ omelet, eggs, pulled pork, Mexican blend cheese, tomato and slaw on top. All on my best paper plate!

We only got .05 “ of rain, temp dropped to 37, heading up to 46 with 15-25 mph winds.
I need to catch up some paperwork but I hate it. Still it has to be done.
Met with my insurance agent the other day, actually increased most coverages and saved $50 a year. Some policies dated back to 1984 and were woefully outdated.

Have a good day folks. God bless.

So ... really anti-creosote sticks then?

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!

A brisk and mostly sunny 22ºF for this morning's low temperature; 25ºF presently with mixed sun/clouds; and I anticipate an afternoon high <30ºF with mostly sunny skies. I noticed a dusting of graupel on the solar panels and lower field during this AM walk of the lower perimeter; a reminder of yesterday's weather event. Not the best day to dig up my rosemary shrubs for indoor Winter living. Hot coffee and a hotter wood stove; life is good at the moment. I pick up my Tundra later today; just about everything attached to the frame has been replaced due to corrosion ; another $ irritation.

A little snow squall just rolled in

Roy- I hope you and your Wife have a decent day, your Stepdaughter has a safe flight, and your other Stepdaughter a quick recovery.

Eric- I do not mind enclosures as long as there is a way out. Good luck minding the Grandkids.

RonJH- I wish my bird feeding stations had your activity. Thanks for sharing. I have very little bird activity at this point and the bird #'s are disappointing so far.

Rick- That chicken soup looks to be great eats and highly medicinal as well.

The forester with whom we had contracted some tree work identified one of our ash trees as a "Specimen" worthy of saving which requires bi-annual treatment for the emerald ash borer.

Don- Good luck with the trail building.

Randy- That looks really good. I am drooling. Good luck with the paperwork. I just cleaned my stovepipe and had minimal creosote buildup. Just out of curiosity I wonder if those (anti-) creosote sticks work on insulated stainless steel stovepipes.

I hope that everyone is having a decent day today.

My + thoughts and prayers.

17°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 38° today.

Half day at work today. Leaving early to take in an organ concert at 12:30 here in the city, then stopping by the urgent care facility on the way home to see if they can give me a boost getting rid of this cough. It'll be three weeks on Sunday, so time to get some professional help.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Dr. Paul- I hope that you enjoy the concert and good luck with the Urgent Care visit. It appears that you have your priorities. - Dr. J

I suppose, but they call them creosote sticks, so I guess it fits in with terms like “ hot water heater “, ice box and other such misnomers.

I used them in mine at my old house.
