Title: full review before chimney cleaning...wow
Content: As others have mentioned for the price should include a plastic measure for putting in fireplace, I just used the one from Rutland cleaner. After using the Rutland brand last year it was notable the amount of creosote that flaked off when I brushed the chimney so these cleaners do have a positive effect. The Red Devil I decided to try as a 2 lb can and will provide a more inclusive overall review after my first Jan cleaning. I burn firewood from October to April. The material itself is interesting compared to Rutland as does look like garage sweepings with a slight kerosene odor. We will see after the first sweep in a few months. 9/23/2023 update....I decided to clean the chimney today and the amount of fluffy creosote at the bottom of the flue was amazing, so much that I will be removing the bottom pipe more often....this stuff really works.
Title: It Works
Content: My fireplace guys swear by this even though it means less business for them. I was skeptical, but tried it anyway since chimney fires are far too common in this part of the country. I used it every 8-10 fires last winter and the stove looks cleaner than when I started the season. It doesn't smell great so hold your breath when you scoop it into the fire. Otherwise it arrived in good shape and does what it says.
Title: Messy on delivery
Content: The product works well and surprised to see the small amounts needed per use. Will continue to use it in the future bet the packaging doesn’t control leakage. I open it inside my stove so not to have a dusty mess in my house.
Title: Great Stuff!!
Content: I purchased this for cleaning my fireplace "wall" that was granite and stone. The former owner was a chain smoker and between the cigarette smoke and wood stove, the white granite had turned to an ugly brown and/or orange color. This stuff was amazing! I then tried several applications, which all worked when nothing else had! Wood cabinets, it removed the grease and grime. In my shower stall there was rust from the well water. While it did not remove the rust in the grout, it cleaned the tiles fairly well. Great product!
Title: Makes one think they are taking good care of the chimney.
Content: In my entire adult life in which I've owned homes with wood fireplaces, I've never had a chimney fire or even suspect I've been close to one. But it seems to be best practice to wring one's hands over the possiblity that the dread scurge, CREOSOTE, will someday decide to awaken from its dormancy and burn my house down. So I bought this tub o' stuff to take care of it. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't... who's to say? I have no idea if this is a good purchase or not. It might have saved my house from burning to the ground or maybe it is just a good placebo. It isn't too expensive, so I guess it's cheap insurance if it works and if it doesn't then I'm not throwing too much cash into the firebox.
Title: Seemed to help very easy to use
Content: I can't tell you 100 percent how well this worked I have only used 1 so far. It did give me piece of mind and was very easy to use. It seemed like the creosote in my stove pipe broke up easier after using this though. I have a very old wood burning stove and stove pipe.
Title: Good wuality
Content: Definitely helps when having to burn greener wood
Title: poor shipping container
Content: This is my 2nd order. I would have given it 4 to 5 stars but when container arrived lid on container was open and half of the contents in container fell out of the container in a plastic bag and made a big mess. Product itself is effective burning off creosote from flue. Vendor needs to improve container seal to avoid leakage during shipment to give better rating
Title: This stuff is great
Content: This creosote destroyer relay works. Checked my chimney today, and hardly any soot, after burning 4 cords of wood
Title: Expensive for the size
Content: I found this very expensive for the size / capacity.

The Red Devil I decided to try as a 2 lb can and will provide a more inclusive overall review after my first Jan cleaning. I burn firewood from October to April. The material itself is interesting compared to Rutland as does look like garage sweepings with a slight kerosene odor. We will see after the first sweep in a few months. 9/23/2023 update....I decided to clean the chimney today and the amount of fluffy creosote at the bottom of the flue was amazing, so much that I will be removing the bottom pipe more often....this stuff really works.
Title: It Works
Content: My fireplace guys swear by this even though it means less business for them. I was skeptical, but tried it anyway since chimney fires are far too common in this part of the country. I used it every 8-10 fires last winter and the stove looks cleaner than when I started the season. It doesn't smell great so hold your breath when you scoop it into the fire. Otherwise it arrived in good shape and does what it says.
Title: Messy on delivery
Content: The product works well and surprised to see the small amounts needed per use. Will continue to use it in the future bet the packaging doesn’t control leakage. I open it inside my stove so not to have a dusty mess in my house.
Title: Great Stuff!!
Content: I purchased this for cleaning my fireplace "wall" that was granite and stone. The former owner was a chain smoker and between the cigarette smoke and wood stove, the white granite had turned to an ugly brown and/or orange color. This stuff was amazing! I then tried several applications, which all worked when nothing else had! Wood cabinets, it removed the grease and grime. In my shower stall there was rust from the well water. While it did not remove the rust in the grout, it cleaned the tiles fairly well. Great product!
Title: Makes one think they are taking good care of the chimney.
Content: In my entire adult life in which I've owned homes with wood fireplaces, I've never had a chimney fire or even suspect I've been close to one. But it seems to be best practice to wring one's hands over the possiblity that the dread scurge, CREOSOTE, will someday decide to awaken from its dormancy and burn my house down. So I bought this tub o' stuff to take care of it. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't... who's to say? I have no idea if this is a good purchase or not. It might have saved my house from burning to the ground or maybe it is just a good placebo. It isn't too expensive, so I guess it's cheap insurance if it works and if it doesn't then I'm not throwing too much cash into the firebox.
Title: Seemed to help very easy to use
Content: I can't tell you 100 percent how well this worked I have only used 1 so far. It did give me piece of mind and was very easy to use. It seemed like the creosote in my stove pipe broke up easier after using this though. I have a very old wood burning stove and stove pipe.
Title: Good wuality
Content: Definitely helps when having to burn greener wood
Title: poor shipping container
Content: This is my 2nd order. I would have given it 4 to 5 stars but when container arrived lid on container was open and half of the contents in container fell out of the container in a plastic bag and made a big mess. Product itself is effective burning off creosote from flue. Vendor needs to improve container seal to avoid leakage during shipment to give better rating
Title: This stuff is great
Content: This creosote destroyer relay works. Checked my chimney today, and hardly any soot, after burning 4 cords of wood
Title: Expensive for the size
Content: I found this very expensive for the size / capacity.
Title: full review before chimney cleaning...wow
Content: As others have mentioned for the price should include a plastic measure for putting in fireplace, I just used the one from Rutland cleaner. After using the Rutland brand last year it was notable the amount of creosote that flaked off when I brushed the chimney so these cleaners do have a positive effect.
