| Chimney Cowl Products - Direct Chimney Cleaning Log - CCL | | Creosote
When wood is burned, the combustion process is never complete. The smoke from a wood fire usually contains a dark brown or black substance which has a smoky odour. This tar like substance is called creosote and is found nearly everywhere in a wood heating system.
Wood has different characteristics - certain types of wood release more heat than others. Hardwoods such as Oak are denser than softer woods such as pine. Hardwoods will burn longer. Unseasoned 'green' wood will burn with difficulty and produce more creosote.
Over time, the creosote from wood fires builds up inside your chimney or flue. Creosote is a flammable material which can ignite causing a fire in your chimney.
The Chimney Cleaning Log contains a mixture of special additives that are dispersed during the process of burning. The additives are released through the smoke and adhere to the creosote.
Over a period of 2 weeks a chemical reaction will take place and the creosote in your chimney may become brittle and begin to flake away.
As you continue to burn wood during this 2 week period, the heat from the fires will treat the creosote and may cause the creosote to disperse as a fine powder or break away from the chimney wall and fall back into the firebox in the form of small particles.
Any remaining creosote is less likely to result in a chimney fire. It is also rendered more brittle, allowing for easier and more effective mechanical removal. Regular chimney inspections are always recommended. The Chimney Cleaning Log is not able to tell whether a chimney is blocked or has any kind of structural damage. Therefore The Chimney Cleaning Log does not take the place of inspection or professional cleaning. See additional safety notes in the 'How to Use' section.
The CCL has been tested by OMNI-test laboratories for its chimney cleaning capabilities Use every 60 fires or as needed No mess, No tools, No hassle, No chimney fires The CCL does not take the place of inspection and professional cleaning by a qualified chimney sweep The CCL should not effect manufacturers warranties on stainless steel flue product |

| | | | Hi, I recently bought a new cowl from you because we had a terrible down draught problem with our recently installed wood burner. I phoned you up and you recommended any of the anti down draught cowls you sell so I bought the brewer aerodyne. Fitted it this weekend, the first weekend of no rain or wind, took me about two hours at the top of a roof ladder standing on my tip toes to remove the old cowl which was cemented in place, 5 minutes to fit yours. Came down and lit a fire and no down draught! Tonight you can hear the wind whistling through the cowl but no down draft. The log burner (an old villager) is working fantastic now, easy to light and burns very clean. Thanks very much for your advice on the phone and prompt despatch. I am recommending you to my friends. Regards James 27th November 2012 | | | | Hi Paul I've received the Disused Chimney Caps today, thanks. My neighbour is impressed so i'm ordering another two today thanks again Keith | | | |
| | | | Name:Paul Message: Bought four Disused Chimney Caps over the internet. The covers arrived next day (impressive!) It took ten minutes to assemble and then less than half an hour to get to the roof (up and down the ladder). Was not sure about the size of the chimney pots, but since it is a 1930’s house, my guess was correct-these fitted smack on. Easy enough to fit. Definitely a money saver. Thanks for a great service. | | | |
| | | | Wow, ordered yesterday, received today (this morning) and now on the roof! (Thought I'd better make use of the sunshine). You really have taken the lead in my "most efficient company" list. Thank you Richard | | | |
| | | | Cowl received in good order before 12 mid-day 25th January. Order given yesterday afternoon, good quality item received less than 24 hours later! Exceptional and impressive service. Very many thanks. | | | |
| | | | Dear Chimney Products, Received package this morning - excellent service! - and balloon installed this afternoon, just in time with all these winds. Result: peace and quiet again (we had whistling noises constantly through the fire doors of our fireplace) and no draughts anymore. Thanks - a happy customer! David Hayes | | | |
