Best Answer

Chimney build up is called creosote. You should clean your chimney regularly to remove the creosote from the lining of the flue.

What causes build up in the pipes of a wood burning stove?

Mainly creosote, which is released from the wood as a vapour during burning which then condenses on the inside of your chimney or flue liner. The cooler the chimney, the worse the problem, so burning your stove turned right down will speed up this build-up. Similarly, burning unseasoned wood or certain species like pine & cypress can speed up this process. The cure is to sweep the chimney regularly and burn your stove hot from time to time. If you dont, one day the build-up can catch fire within your chimney. Lining the chimney with a stainless steel flue liner to increase the speed of gases up the chimney (preferably insulated liner to further reduce heat loss) also reduces the problem.
