The handle, for the heat exchanger tube cleaner, is located inside the firebox.
- Page 31 MAINTENANCE - continued Chimney Cleaning: 1. Creosote Formation – When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue, as a result creosote residue accumulates on the chimney lining.
