Best thing for a wood fire

published

A product that does exactly what it says - makes wood fires burn cleaner, more efficiently and even cleans the chimney - amazing. We can't do without it every winter and keep telling everyone who has a wood fire. SmartBurn is a must buy, highly recommend.

Why you need this

published

If you're not using Smartburn you are missing out. Clean glass, clean chimney, less ash & less wood burnt. I have been usingSmartburn since they first hit the market and use them every winter. What they guarantee is what you get & that is all the above. When you go outside and you're not sure if they work or not just look up at your chimney & see how clean it is, & that's not mentioning the absence of great plumes of smoke. Try it, even if it's only once.

A good idea and I use them .

published

A good idea and I use them but still get smoke coming out on opening door, which remains dirty with carbon . Also, a chimney would have to be dismantled to actually see the results, so I guess I'm not 100% convinced that they are as effective as the ads show. I will however keep using them in the hope they are working.

Been using this product for years now, and wouldn't be without it. It cleans the glass even after I've made it go black from wood touching it. Love the chimney thermometer also, helps to keep the fire burning at the optimum level

We have been using SmartBurn several times each winter, as it is easy, no mess & does a great job with excellent results. Although we still clean our chimney each winter. SmartBurn maintains a clean fire in an environmentally friendly way.

What's not to like !

published

We use wood fired heating only to heat our house. We choose good, dry wood and add a smart burn at the beginning of the season. Glass is noticeably cleaner, wood burns cleaner and leaves less ash to clean up. Our chimney is cleaned regularly and our man who does it is always impressed how clean is our flue after months of constant use.

should be used by everyone

published

we have been using the smart burn devices for three years now and find they are so efficient. our chimney sweep who comes to clean chimney before we start lighting the fire does not believe we haven't already cleaned it. it is great. the front glass is always clean and when fire is going all the other chimneys are blowing out smoke but ours has just a heat wave with no smoke at all. they are so efficient it is amazing. would not be without these and i believe they should be made compulsory for all fires.

Smart burn for wood heaters

published

I purchased a smart burn in 2018 to see if I could stop the build up of creosote in the chimney as the wood heater was smoking inside the house.
After a short time I couldn’t believe the difference as the smoking problem stopped and and no more creosote dripping on the tiled roof.
The next 2 things that happened was my glass cleared and the most remarkable event was the extra time each block of wood burnt for which was stated in the information on the leaflet ( which I didn’t believe) until I witnessed it actually happen.
I have now purchased my second smart burn with the first actually lasting just over 4 months.
I would highly recommend this product and I have informed others about the product and they to were amazed with the results.

Questions & Answers

Brady F.

Brady F.asked

How long does it take to clean a chimney. Ours has just started to not draw
As it was during the start of winter. Will one of the has instant results or am I better to get it swept first then use the smartburn to stop the build up. Really like the reviews on the smartburn and I’m very interested in the product

2 answers
SmartBurn
Glenn F.SmartBurn

Hello Brady,
Thanks for your interest in our product, and for your good question that we get asked often.
Provided that you can start your fire and get it up to temperature, in order to melt the SmartBurn ingredients, then it will clean your flue with noticeable results over the first two weeks. It is possible that you will hear material cracking off the inside of your flue on the first night. Having your flue inspected by a professional chimney sweep is always a good idea, who can check for corrosion and other structural issues as well. However, the SmartBurn will not only unblock a mostly blocked over flue, but maintain it clean for the approx three months lifespan of the device. SmartBurn is simple to use, safe and non corrosive.
Many thanks, Glenn

Cheers Glenn. I have a chimney sweep coming to have a look on Thursday and will put a smartburn in once I relight it again that day.

Hi do I need to place the smartburn on a specific heat brick? Or can I substitute with a rock?
Thanks

5 answers
SmartBurn
Glenn F.SmartBurn

Hi Ellen,
Thanks for your interest in SmartBurn and question. No please don't use a rock, as the supporting surface needs to be completely flat and level. The idea of placing your SmartBurn on a fire-proof brick is a recommendation, however not essential. Once heated the ingredients inside the SmartBurn tube melt and sit as a liquid inside the tube. Vapours off this liquid release via the holes in the ends and are the catalyst that improves the burning efficiency within your firebox. Due to the ingredients being liquid when hot, the tube must remain level at all times. Placing the SmartBurn higher up on something heat proof prevents the holes in the ends from being buried in ash and stopping the vapours from releasing. The firebrick also gives the tube a flat stable base that is higher up and further away from being disturbed by logs. Firebricks are available from any heating store that sells new wood heaters as a spare part, or via our web cart. Please also don't place a regular house or paving brick inside your wood heater. Buy the smallest firebrick that you can source.
Many thanks,
SmartBurn Australia

Hi Ellen,
I agree with Glenn.
We've placed our Smartburn directly on the floor of our fireplace with no support underneath.

I have a cast iron rectangular heater door one end and 90degree elbow for the flue at the other end, where is the best place to place the Smart Burn . Under the flue on brick or where ? Please tell

Hi Rob H
The best answer I can give is how I used it on my heater.
I have a slow combustion wood fire, Masport Verona, with a cast iron fire box.
It has a glass door, which when opened gives access to a steel panel (shelf) just inside the door.
I place the smart burn on this shelf between the door and the fire.
Hope this helps
