A few errors here. It would be very difficult to get creosote to form INSIDE a boiler unless the temp is running very, very low. The condensation will normally occur at the point up the pipe where the pipe cools below 250 degrees. Smoke does not need to encounter moisture, the moisture is a by product of combustion and is in the flue along with the smoke. Wood boiler and wood stove flue pipes need to be cleaned EVERY DAY. Burning poor grade wood with high moisture content at too low a temperature can result in the flue pipe becoming dangerously coated in just 24 hours. In order to give the pipe its daily cleaning simply stoke it with some hot burning fuel, leave the damper open and let it get up to over 400 degrees for a few minutes. This high heat will cause the days accumulation of creosote to ignite and burn out in a barely noticeable fire, without enough heat outside of the flue to cause any problem. Keep a long handled mirror handy to check your pipe and have a friendly chimney fire every day and stay safe.
