We burn a lot of pine. Any recommendations on how often to use this product?

probably a lot, if burning pine in a fireplace that's a big mistake as it creates a lot of creosote ( the black, tar-like stuff ) that causes chimney fires.

If you burn wood in an open fireplace it's the wrong product. If you burn wood in an enclosed stove follow directions. Once a week application.

I would just watch the creosote build up, and add product, till furnace looks like, it is brown inside, instead of black.pine, if not seasoned, can be messy. Once or twice a,week, after you dry tge unit your burning in, out.

The container suggests the amount and how often. I on the other hand, (newer air-tight wood burning stove) add a little (just a little) each fire, when it's roaring. AS long as you are burning pine HOT you shouldn't have have a problem. I switched from hard wood to pine two years ago, and still have a sparkling clean chimney and stove each inspection...and have it cleaned each year as well.

I think with pine especially with digger pine I would use at least 2 times a week. Oak is much cleaner.

For pure essential oils, I personally use 1-2 for a three hour setting. A little goes a long way. Hope this helps!

I just use about two fist size chunks , that's plenty of smoke for my taste, too much wood could ruin your meat.

I timed one once of 91% isopropyl and got right at a 10min burn time in the kitchen. Think I got 15mins with the same amount of everclear grain alcohol.

I am not expert, but would wait several weeks before reapplying...I use it for trying to combat ash borer, and I apply more heavily in spring and then again in fall before dormancy

I've used it twice so far and each time I had to clean a lot of suit off the pot each time. It smokes when the dwigs have any dampness to them. Perhaps using completely dry fuel would burn cleaner but I havene't had that experience yet.

used it on many campfires. hung over a fire or set on grill. soap outside first before cooking over fire. that makes cleanup a breeze.

I clean mine once a year, but run fire hotter than most. don't really believe in the air-tite belief. When you burn that way you get twice the buildup in your chimney. At any rate may very well save you from a fire, pretty cheap insurance!

I would use 2 tbs. It just makes the product stick to the weeds longer to dry there .

I didn't actually time the burn but it is shorter than firewood but longer than I had anticipated. I mix woodchips/saw dust with shredded paper to about a 50/50 mix and I haven't noticed any extra or unwanted smoke. I want to try and make enough bricks this spring and summer to get me through next winter. If you don't mind a little work then it's worth it, FYI I fill up a 50 gallon trashcan with my mix and it usually makes about 32 bricks.

I have planed a small amount of PT pine, with no "obvious" dulling. It certainly didn't destroy the blades, but no idea if it wears them any faster than not-PT. I tend to doubt it.If you do use PT, make sure you wear a mask. The stuff has gotten a lot safer over the years, but still not sure you want to breath in whatever the current preservative mix is.

These cedar boards are great. How many times you can reuse these depends on how you use them and clean them. We use them in the oven and have got 10-15 uses from each board. on the grill you will get fewer uses.

I let it run longer after the last batch. This will release more of the sugar and leave less to burn. There will always be some smoke, but you can cut it way down by letting it run dry for about 2-3 minutes.

Yes, throw it in the fire. I put it in after the fire is going well. And yes, I like Creosote Destroyer. It works for me. I'm the kind of person that might sometimes burn wood that was not prime fuel, which makes me concerned about build up in my chimney. I burn a lot of construction debris.

Mine burned out after being used for a while on wood. I suspect stone would be asking a bit too much of it.

I use half of the recommended use and only once a day. I am seeing great regrowth results. This is a budget tactic for me. This method lasts me 2 to 3 months from 1 bottle. AWSOME !!!

If you burn wood of any type you need it. Chimney fires can be catastrophic, we had one last winter, luckily right at the outside top of the chimney so we had no damage. I have used this product since the early 90's and after we moved in this house I hadn't seen this product in any of the local stores so I ordered it online. We had the chimney fire a few days before it arrived. In fact we built our first fire tonight, and even though we cleaned our chimney about a week ago I still used it. It absolutely works. If you can see any shiny, black accumulation inside the firebox that is creosote buildup. Once you use this and your fire is out and the fireplace is cold you can scrape off the black areas. They should be almost a matte finish after the product is used. I use this often. At least every 5-7 fires. I think it's cheaper to buy this and feel safe. I believe the package instructions recommend using twice then once weekly. I truly think this product is great!
