Innovative product that really works

published

We were initially hesitant about purchasing a SmartBurn due to the cost. However, since our first purchase we have definitely seen results that justify the price. The biggest plus for us is that the woods burns down to much finer ash, which means we don’t need to clean it out as often. SmartBurn lives up to all of its promises.

Hi to the Cole Family. Less ash and less cleaning that is a great advantage.
We appreciate your purchase and feedback.

For the past number of years I have been tasked with climbing on to the roof to clean my wood heater chimney, that was until about 3 years ago when I was informed of SmartBurn, consequently no more roof hopping plus cleaning of the glass door, perhaps twice only over the winter period.

Hello Ella, I am glad to hear that you are able to avoid the risk of your Husband being on your roof to clean your flue. A much safer alternative. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I have been using a smartburn in my combustion heater for years. This a tried and efficient product that I would not light my fire without. Thoroughly recommend it. It genuinely works.

Makes chimney cleaning a thing of the past

published

We were introduced to Smartburn by our neighbour last year and were happy with product but when my husband went to clean fireplace ready for this year when he took the tray our from under chimney was amazed to see there was hardly any ash or rubbish on it and at times our fire goes 24/7 for a few weeks. So off to Bunnings to purchase our 2nd Smartburn and no doubt we will continue to use this wonderful product. No more chimney cleaning!

Excellent Product-lives up to expectations

published

This will be the third Winter we have used SmartBurn in our fireplace.
We are getting more heat in our home and are using less wood as a result. The glass is cleaner and my husband has noticed that the flue is not as dirty after each use.

Use it every year and it works brilliantly. We got it one year and had to clean our flue mid winter. Never made that mistake again. Couldn't be without it.

Excellent product

I have used Smartburn for about 11 years with huge rewards in regard to getting more heat from less wood, clean glass door and a clean chimney. Their product is outstanding and service is efficient and the best, they make it very personal.

SmartBurn works its magic every Winter for us.

published

Purchased on advice from home heating store, even though I was sceptical about the efficiency of this product. It certainly lives up to its name. We get a much cleaner burn, less ash, we don’t consume as much wood, and our chimney sweep commented how clean the flue was at the end of that Winter, asking if we were using SmartBurn. This is our 5th Winter using this excellent product. I purchase direct from SmartBurn who offer special deals each year, and their personalised service is very impressive.

Thanks for your review Susan, Glad that you are experiencing all of the benefits of SmartBurn. Great that your chimney sweep has noticed the difference and that you are being proactive to have your flue checked.

Great flue cleaning product

published

Perfect for keeping flue clean, easy to use and I can rest easy.
I just replaced my wood fire after 10 years. The flue has never been cleaned.
I have been using smart burn for th last 4 years.

Replaced!

published

Seem to work well. When product appeared to leak, was replaced for free, with useful tips to prevent it happening again. Great customer service. They obviously believe in their product!

Very disappointed with the product.

published

No improvement on clearing the creosote. The glass is dirtier than ever before.
Not happy with the product. It is very expensive to spend the kind of money on something that disappoints.

Disappointed

published

When I first started burning this product it seemed to do what is advertised however was only effective for 3 weeks . Thought may have brought a dud so tried again . Same result from second purchase. (I'm a slow learner) $100. up in smoke. Won't be doing that again.

Hasn’t delivered a single promise

published

I normally wouldn’t bother writing this email however I feel a bit taken advantage of. I purchased the unit only to get home and find out I should sit the unit on a fire brick. Back to bunnings who don’t sell fire bricks. Regardless I sourced one and away I went.
As I said it would be 6 weeks using it and hoping week by week to see an improvement. Unfortunately this has not occurred. In fact I think the glass is dirtier.

Very very disappointed.

Worth the outlay

SmartBurn does what it says. Less smoke produced. It actually does continuously clean the chimney flue and we are using less wood. although it costs $45 the chimney sweep guy also says they reduce the risky of a chimney fire.

Best service ever!!

published

We started using the smart burner about a month ago and so far the little wood burner we have looks cleaner.
But last night I discovered some sort of molten metal behind the smart burn. Looked for it this morning when my burner was cold and found some sort of metal.
I contacted smartburnt.com.au this morning through their website and got a call back about two hours later! Talked to a very friendly lady (sorry, forgot her name).
The 'stuff' indeed comes from inside the smart burner (I must have nicked it while still hot). And she told me she would send me a new smart burner as the one I have is probably empty.
What an amazing service!!!

NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER

published

Has this product been scientifically tested and analysed by an independent authority? How does the smoke reduction come down to a figure of 54% and 17% more value from the wood? How was that measured? The only claim that can be proven is the clean glass. From my experience it has no effect. I think it's a big scam and should be looked into by fair trading. I look forward to answers to my questions, preferably from the manufacturers.

Hi Joe, we appreciate your feedback. Yes what is called 'smoke spillage' coming back into your room when opening the door is a good indication of a partially blocked flue. So glad to hear that SmartBurn has cleared that up for you. Best wishes Glenn

Does it clean the glass even when I have the vent turned down which causes it to go black

Glenn F.SmartBurn

Hi Liznway, Thanks for your interest in SmartBurn. A blackening of the glass is an indication of incomplete combustion which can be caused by a number of factors. Customer experience is that SmartBurn can assist to clean the glass, however if you would like to phone me at our office 08 9202 0700 I am very happy to talk through any advice that I may be able to offer. Regards, Glenn

When I used the SMART BURN the air intake was wide open for most of the time and still did not clean the glass.
Also,when I posted the review I only received a message from a rep' saying sorry.
At least you have a name and number to call.
Good luck to you.
I'm still very disappointed with SMART BURN and definately won't buy another one and happy to tell people of my experience
Cheers Laurie

Hi Adrian, Yes this will be the ingredients out of the SmartBurn. They will still work outside the tube, however the lifespan of the unit will be reduced. Please contact me at our office and will discuss how we can assist further. Email your details to [email protected] so that I can contact you. Thanks for your usage and support. Regards Glenn

Sorry Adrian, I never had anything than ash in my wood box. As I use the ash in gardening I am sure I would have noticed anything lumpy.
