Pine Mountain SL824-12 Creosote Sweeping Log 3 Lb

Product Description

The PINE MOUNTAIN SL824-12 is a mineral-based chimney sweeping log designed to reduce creosote buildup inside residential fireplace flues and wood-burning chimney systems. Weighing 3.371 pounds, it works by releasing a proprietary mineral mixture into the flue gases as it burns. Those minerals coat and adhere to creosote deposits on the flue walls. Over the following 14 days, treated creosote becomes brittle and either falls away or is carried out during subsequent fires. Independent testing indicates a single use can reduce creosote volume by up to 70 percent. Remaining deposits are rendered largely nonflammable, reducing chimney fire risk. Chimney sweeps and fireplace technicians recommend it as a low-effort maintenance aid between full mechanical cleanings.

The SL824-12 is suited for use in residential wood-burning fireplaces and fireplace inserts with conventional masonry or metal flue systems. It is intended as a supplemental maintenance product, not a substitute for annual professional chimney inspection and cleaning. It is most effective when used after the heating season has started and the flue has accumulated light-to-moderate creosote deposits from regular wood fires.

Key Features

• Mineral mixture disperses during combustion and bonds to creosote deposits
• Treated creosote becomes brittle and breaks away over approximately 14 days
• Reduces creosote volume by up to 70 percent per independent testing
• Renders remaining creosote largely nonflammable, lowering chimney fire risk
• Nontoxic formula — no harsh chemicals
• Single-log, single-use application per treatment cycle

Compatibility

Designed for use in residential wood-burning fireplaces and fireplace inserts equipped with conventional masonry or prefabricated metal flue systems.

Installation Notes

This product is burned in place of or alongside a normal wood fire — no tools or mechanical work required. Allow the fireplace and flue to cool completely before handling any ash or debris that may fall after treatment. A certified chimney sweep should perform a full inspection and mechanical cleaning at least once per year regardless of creosote log use. Do not use in gas fireplaces, pellet stoves, or oil-fired appliances.
