No, mass is an innate property of matter, and matter can not be destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Do aluminum cans in a wood burning stove fire help to prevent a buildup of creosote?

I asked a friend who installs furnaces and sells wood stoves this question. He said that he knows several people who swear by it. An older gentleman in my neighborhood said to put Potassium chloride, or sodium chloride, 2-3 Tablespoons per week, on a hot fire. I was wondering where to buy it, then he said, "Why, that's just Ice Melt."

So, it appears that some minerals, Sodium, Potassium, aluminum, may have some value? I tried to find ingredients on one of those creosote sweeping logs. For 15 dollars, they are probably just soaked in mineral water then dried. I am going to try the aluminum cans. Our outdoor wood burner is in an outbuilding. The tall flu pipe appears to be building up creosote. We are told that it is "cold shock"???? I'll write back here after a few weeks, if I notice less creosote.

How do you remove electrical tape residue from a metal fireplace?

It depends on the finish of the fireplace, if it is painted use caution so as not to damage the finish. Check anything you would use to clean it on an inconspicuous place first to check for finish damage.

If it is simply adhesive residue, apply some mineral oil (baby oil is a good source) or mineral spirits (paint thinner) or a light lubricating oil like WD-40. Allow to sit for a few minutes, the adhesive will soften and can be removed by rubbing with a rag. It may take several applications depending on the amount of residue and how long it has been on there. Wash the oils off with plain soap and water once the adhesive has been removed. Patients pays off in this case, scrubbing or abrasives will probably change the finish around where the tape was left.
