I have 2 woodburners on the go here, i don't think there is any tar on the liners,hope not anyway,
we try to let them burn HOT, not too cool as to keep the flue hot and lee=sson the condensation in the flues which cause tar.
I have seen some bad tar runs on stoves and heard of alot of chimney fires.
As to what todo to remove the tar,well i don't know,,
Is there a HETAS website?
Don’t underestimate the advantages of a quality twin wall & insulated liner installation over an existing clay liner or a rendered brick flue designed for an open fire. They may be quiet sound & safe to use but it will not be as efficient with a stove install due to lower gas temperatures in the top 1/3 of the flue. This will give reduced heat output from the stove & lead to condensation on sulphur deposits which results in what will basically be sulphuric acid. This will eat away at the render holding your flue/chimney together & will eventually destroy a non insulated liner far quicker than an insulated one.[/size]
