You might go to a local hardware and see if they have Creasote remover. You put it in with the wood when you are first lighting it. I bet if you take the powder and sling it on the glassy creasote it will help "dry" it out. I think it is nothing more than TSP, tri sodium phosphate. My stove is a NON airtight, old type and I still get some build up but not as bad as if I ad an airtight with the draft choked way down. Remember what the old timers told me about "seasoned wood" it takes a full year for most wood covered in a wood shed, and takes 2 years to season oak. Pileing wood up in a heap is not seasoning, it must be stacked and allow air to move through it and really should be up off the ground and I cover my stacks with a sheet of plywood cut in half. I have them stacked up on old RR ties. Also wood that is just left in a downed tree does not season. I had someone say yesterday they are cutting up an oak that has been down for a year and plans on burning it this winter. He will have creasote problems! That glassy stuff is what really can set a house on fire quick! It gets on fire and melts and runs down the chimney and can run down the stovepipe onto the floor, Saw that in the neighbors basement, they had fire evwerywhere on the floor and almost lost the house. Lucky yours is away from the house, but good dry wood is a must with those boilers as they are really choked down on just the cooler days and a choked down fire really builds up the creasote. and creasote acts like an insulator, until it catches fire and melts off.
