How often do you really have to clean the stack on a wood stove?
I am sure there are variables on this subject as to how much you burn and other factors but as a general rule what would be a duration between cleanings?
Because I am new at this I went up every 3rd week and ran a 6" brush through my stack up until february, then gained confidence and waited until 5th week also cause we were burning not as much at this time of year.
Overall I collected all the cresote build up and it filled a 1 gallon zip-loc bag and just a bit more from all these cleanings ( guessing 5 quarts ), my neighbor looked at my collection and said that would be normal .....no idea on my part if this was good or bad.
Have neighbor who says he does this once year and another who says twice a year ...........
I don't plan on going up there on the roof again like this next year but please help me out here so I don't start a cresote fire and waste a lot of time in sub-zero weather doing something that is not necessary either.
Thanks everyone southpaw,
