Usage :

• Build a good fire to heat the flue and soften the tar.
• Place the log wrapped in its bag on the embers.
• Light the ends of the wrapping if necessary to facilitate ignition.
• Refill with fuel and maintain a high draught.
• The chimney sweep log will burn evenly and burn for about 1 hour.

After burning :

• Incrusted deposits will gradually be destroyed by catalysis.
• It is advisable to carry out a mechanical sweep to remove any remaining powdery residue.

Precautions for use :

• Use only on glowing embers, never on live flames.
• Store the log in a dry place, away from moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.

This product complements mechanical chimney sweeping, which is still compulsory once or twice a year under current legislation.
