How to clean the tent stove pipe?
#1

After camping in my pomoly hot tent, I found a lot of dust on the inside of the tent stove pipe. How should this be cleaned?

A long handled snow brush.

Remember pine is not a good fuel, at least you should make it very very dry and the fire is very hot. If possible, open the damper to get a bigger fire. Please keep less smoulder.

Burn the stove for about 30 minutes to ensure that the temperature of the flue is high enough. In this way, the combustion waste gas can be discharged from the stove faster, and the attached creosote can be greatly reduced. Of course, high enough temperature can also burn most creosote. If your stove has a damper, remember to keep it open to make a hot fire when you burn coniferous wood. Generally, soft woods will make more creosote than hardwoods on the stove wall and flue, green woods make more than old woods, and unseasoned woods make more than dry woods.

Pressure washer would help you a lot. Or a chimney sweep.

It is better to reduce its production than to clean it. Try to use dry wood. You will find hot fire will burn it out!

Don't try to give it smacks. It doesn't work at all, believe me. LOL

Not burning a enough hot fire. Try to make a small and very hot stove fire.

It's said that salt water can work. But it hasn't been tested.

You can run it hot at the get go. Bet it will be different.
