I just scraped the inside of my stove 2 days ago, there was a crusty build up. Now 1 side has a layer of black gooey creasote. I've been burning mostly 2 year seasoned hickory. Is this normal?kinda hard to tell from the pic but it looks like it was sprayed with gloss black paint. Also it is a insert. I have a big chimney, I haven't measured but it's bigger than 8 inches. My 8 inch brush barely make contact when I cleaned it. Also do I need to clean on the top of the stove that is inside the fireplace I can see crusty chunks up in there.
