The most important ongoing maintenance task for your wood stove is to keep the flue system clean. As you use your stove, some smoke will condense inside the flue system and form creosote, a flammable tar-like substance. Too much creosote buildup can increase your risk of a chimney fire.
You will need to inspect your flue system on a regular basis and clean it as often as necessary. The frequency of cleaning will depend on how you use the stove—how often you use it, what type of fuel you use, and what temperatures it runs. It’s a good idea to inspect a new installation weekly for the first month, then on a monthly basis during the heating season (cleaning as needed). If you experience deteriorating performance or puffs of smoke entering the room when opening the door, inspect the flue. If there is ⅛” or more of build-up on the wall of the flue, clean it before using the stove again.
