Instructions call for "chimney sweeping logs" to be burned one at a time in a wood stove or fireplace. According to diagrams and promotional literature of two companies marketing the logs in North America, minerals in the smoke react with the creosote(flammable residue) left by the passage of smoke through the chimney. Thereafter, over the course of 15 days, the creosote is said to break away from the flue, or smoke passageway, and fall into the fireplace. 1, record 3, English, - chimney%20sweeping%20log

The central wood furnace is a third alternative to conventional oil, gas or electric heating. Unlike the wood stove, it is a device designed to take on the larger fraction of the home heat load, although a back-up source-for example, an electric plenum heater-will generally be added on... recently developed furnaces use wood chips or pellets rather than firewood, to allow for a much easier distribution and loading of the fuel. 2, record 4, English, - central%20wood%20furnace
