The CSL will continue to smoke even after the flames have gone out. This is a normal part of the application process.
After you have used the CSL
Make sure your damper is left fully open, until the smoking has completely stopped.
Falling creosote can come down over a period of days and is often difficult to distinguish from regular fire ashes.
If possible, allow a few hours between using the CSL and starting another fire.
After you have used the CSL, it is beneficial to have subsequent wood fires every couple of days for the next one to two weeks. This will allow the additives released by the CSL to further treat the creosote.
If your wood burning appliance is used constantly, much of the flaking creosote will be dispersed from the heat and draft of continuous fires.
Wait 1 to 2 weeks after using the CSL before doing a mechanical sweeping, as the creosote will be easier to remove after the treatment is complete.
