excessive tar like substance

Bane · Nov 25, 2018

I am running 6 to 8mo old hickory splits in a 2018 CTO. I get excessive amounts of a liquid tar like substance that cools and coats everything, even locking down the fire box door. It has to be the wood and I am going to change to oak. Any suggestions? Anyone deal with this much from a species?

Sounds like a smoldering fire along with wood that needs to age a while longer

I would also think that if it coated everything, it would also affect the meat?

Have you noticed any off or overpowering flavors?

Liquid tar that coats everything......creosote.

I don't own a stick burner, but I'll bet you're running a smoldering fire that lets it build up.

If it's gunked up your pit, you might need to do a hot clean burn to clear it out.
