For Woodstoves & Inserts & Alternative Fuels & Creosote Control
Powerful Creosote Control for Safer, Cleaner Fires
Keep your chimney system running efficiently with a formula designed to target and reduce creosote buildup in wood stoves, coal stoves, fireplace inserts, and pellet stoves.
This advanced treatment works as a catalytic agent, breaking down the hardened binders that hold creosote deposits together—making them easier to remove and helping prevent dangerous accumulation over time.
Why it matters:
- Helps reduce creosote buildup for improved performance
- Supports safer operation by helping prevent chimney fires
- Ideal for regular maintenance of all solid-fuel heating systems
Smarter Packaging, Less Waste
Our new 3 oz packaging uses 80% less plastic, delivering the same trusted performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
3oz creo-shot (powdered)
Toss Directly into active medium fire 325°-350°. Can use once a week.
Chemically activated by heat, this powerful formula works directly within an active fire to help control and reduce creosote buildup in wood and coal stoves, fireplace inserts, and pellet stoves.
Using advanced catalytic action, it breaks down the hardened binders that hold creosote deposits together—making maintenance easier and helping support safer, more efficient operation.
This convenient, single-use application delivers the same proven formula found in our #14, #25, and #27 products, making it an easy solution for quick treatment. For those who burn regularly, we recommend our tub options (#14, #25, #27) for ongoing maintenance.
Important Notes:
- Ashes are not suitable for garden use due to copper content
- Safe for use with stainless steel systems—will not cause damage
Perfect for routine fireplace care, helping you maintain performance while reducing the risk of creosote buildup and chimney fires.
Tub of powdered creosote destroyer for ongoing maintenance use — simply scoop and sprinkle into the fire as part of your regular burn routine to help manage creosote buildup.
Sprinkle in 2 table spoons every 3rd fire or every other day if burning 24/7 Chemically activated by burning in a medium fire (325° – 350°).
Maintenance Use for Ongoing Creosote Control
This is a maintenance product designed for regular use to help reduce and manage creosote buildup in fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and fireplace inserts. It is not a one-time “magic cleaner,” but part of a consistent burn routine.
For best results, sprinkle the powdered product directly into the fire during normal use. Do not overapply. Excess product, especially when combined with overly wet wood, may clump inside the firebox and prevent proper burning.
Store in a dry place. If the product becomes hard or cakey in the container, moisture has been introduced and the product should be replaced.
Important Burn Guidelines
- Do not burn driftwood
- Avoid burning salt- or chlorine-treated wood
- Burning salt-bearing wood significantly increases creosote buildup
- Salt exposure can also damage metal components in the firebox
Ash Safety Notice
Ashes are not safe for use in gardens due to copper content. However, they will not negatively impact stainless steel components when used as intended.
