You guys are making an excellent case against using wood stoves!
You make it sound like the occasional random stove event just burns the
house down. It's no big deal, they just do that? I would want
to conclude that someone made some sort of operational error that I know
not to repeat or that it was installed wrong and I won't make that
mistake. Otherwise, I think I would look for something else.
Pat, you are in Texas, aren't all Texans supposed to favor oil?

Pat. My friend had a similar "fart" that took out the
back half of his house. The best cleaner we used was TSP
(trisodium phosphate), but it is nasty stuff, gloves, eye protection, old
clothes, etc. His wife got a less alkaline cleaner from the big
box store: Â

It worked ok, Simple Green also seemed to work ok, but we used the TSP
for the really have stuff. Â <br><br>
