I live in Alaska and heat with spruce exclusively; not because I can't afford fuel oil but because I like the quality of warmth of a Blaze King woodstove with a glass door. My stack is 25 feet high. I noticed that the cap on the stack had some closure of the vents and burned one of these logs. DON'T TAKE THE WRAPPER OFF THE LOG!! BURN IT WITH THE PLASTIC WRAPPER as it says in the instructions that I was too dumb to read before using the first log. Read the directions twice and follow them. Big improvement in my stack air flow. My friend uses them too and reported great results. After a house caught fire New Year's Day, 2010 in the next subdivision, I determined to burn one of these logs every two weeks during heating season. The house which burned to the ground had a stack fire. A real stack fire sounds like a jet engine when all that creosote catches fire and will scare the hell out of you.

I burned one of these in January last season. After a couple days I started hearing creosote falling. On a warmer day I shut the stove down and opened the clean out and got a good bit of creosote out. I went to clean out my chimney after last season and my brush got seriously wedged in the top of the chimney,after I finally got it out I looked in there with a flashlight and there was only creosote at about the top 1 foot of the chimney and a very small amount lower down. The stuff was so loose I was able to knock it all out with the brush rod. Got it clean as a whistle. This season I will use one every 2 months like the box says. Great peace of mind.

The Creosote Sweeping Log works very well. They light readily and burn well, treating the existing creosote on the inside of the stove and chimney. Thereafter, the creosote hardens and falls off into the ash pile and burns up.

Batavia Public Library to Unveil Lincoln Portrait

Feb 07, 5906 |

In the Land of Lincoln, all things related to the 16th president are revered. Which is why the Batavia Public Library is the recipient of what library officials are calling a new “old” portrait of Abraham Lincoln. The public is invited to witness the unveiling of the donated painting at 6:30 p.m. June 21, at the library, 10 S. Batavia Ave.

The portrait was painted by Ellen Sibley Fuller of West Springfield, MA, in 1876. Over the years it was passed down through her family and moved from Massachusetts to Illinois to Texas.

The portrait is a gift from the estate of Virginia M. Douglas who was a Batavia resident from 1957 to 1992. Douglas was Fuller’s granddaughter. The artist’s great-granddaughters, Jan Takle of Pasadena, CA, and Trish Fechner of Carrollton, TX, contacted Library Director George H. Scheetz last fall and offered the portrait as a gift to the library, stating that, “Aunt Ginny loved to spend time at your library and would have wanted this painting to be returned to the Land of Lincoln.”
