Q: Do you leave the damper open when burning a creosote log?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn&rsquo;t waft into your house as it&rsquo;s burning. You&rsquo;ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it&rsquo;s completely out and cold. </p></div>
