Premature corrosion discovered in a wood stove chimney using our ChimScan flue camera, during a post-sweep inspection. Creosote is highly acidic and can deteriorate the walls of prefabricated chimneys and the mortar in masonry chimneys.

Regular cleanings to remove creosote deposits will protect your chimney and extend its lifespan.

🔥 PSA: Avoid Mixing Duraflame Logs with Wood in Cabin Wood Stoves! 🔥

Hey adventurers! Love cozy cabin vibes? So do we. But before you light up that fire, let’s talk about Duraflame logs and why they need to stay in their own lane. 🪵+🔥

Here’s the deal: Duraflame logs aren’t meant to mingle with wood-burning stoves—especially ones with doors or limited airflow. Mixing them with regular wood can turn your cozy cabin evening into a too-hot-to-handle situation. Trust us, you don’t want your stove throwing a surprise chemistry experiment! 😳💥

If you’re using a Duraflame log:
✅ Stick to ONE log at a time (no, it’s not lonely—promise!).
✅ Keep the flue wide open for plenty of air.
✅ Resist the urge to poke or stir—this log doesn’t like surprises.
✅ Oh, and no s’mores over Duraflame logs—they’ve got some extra ingredients you don’t want to taste. 🍫🚫

For Alaska State Park cabins, natural wood is the way to go! It’s safer, burns cleaner, and keeps those wild chemical reactions where they belong—in science class. 🌲🔥

So, let’s keep it safe, warm, and drama-free in the great Alaskan outdoors. Now go enjoy those cabin vibes responsibly! 🏕✨
