This may sound a little weird but I covered a friends stovepipe with 6" foil backed fiberglass insulation then covered that with 6 mil poly & eliminated the creosote buildup in his stovepipe. He had a 10' outdoor horizontal run that the snow wouldn't melt on after we insulated it. Miked74T

Do some research on a Kuuma VaporFire and forget about the creosote all together.
How often do I clean the furnace?
Once a year I use a rake that comes with the furnace to scrape out the heat exchanger. I proceed to vacuum through the clean out cover. Finally, I take the pipes off the back and blow them out outside. I've run this furnace for 28 years and never clean out the chimney as a matter of fact I don't even own a chimney brush
(NO SMOKE=NO CREOSOTE)

Garrett, since your an advertiser, maybe start a thread on the benefits of your stove. Ive seen some comments on Hearth about it and am a bit curious. Not that it fits my (or likely the OP's) house due to my fireplace being in my living room. I have no furnace that it can bolt to.
Now if you took your technology and made a "traditional" looking woodstove with a glass door id be interested.

I'll look into that one of these days, thanks.
We get a lot of requests for a glass window but my dad (Daryl Lamppa - Designer) says it not currently possible to get as good of results with the glass. We are a small family business that has really grown over the past few years and redesigning any product line takes serious time. We have to be retested just to sell in Canada even though our others tests (more stringent) show it's the cleanest burning wood furnace on the market.

So your product isnt available in canada now? What additional testing does it require for sale? Is it UL listed?

It's definitely UL approved but I think there is another certification for Canada CUL that requires submission. We invested heavily in the efficiency and emissions tests so getting another large chunk of cash for more testing is tough to talk my dad into especially when he is already very busy.
We have sold a few furnaces to people in Canada who have come across the border to pick them up, but haven't shipped any across ourselves. We get a lot of Canadian inquires and nearly 20% of our web traffic is from the Great North as well
