Soot and Fly Ash
The products of combustion will contain small
particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the
exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the
flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as oc-
curs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect opera-
tion of the room heater, will lead to some soot for-
mation which will collect in the exhaust venting sys-
tem. The exhaust venting system should be in-
spected after the first month of burning to determine
the frequency of cleaning that will be required. NOTE:
The frequency could vary from once a month to once
a season depending on the quality of the fuel being
used.
