My dad and I used almost identical Longwood furnaces for 25 years. His house and flu were built 5 years before mine and he had a lot of problems with creosote buildup. His flue was masonary liner with cinderblocks on the outer. Mine had a different type of block that had hollow spaces. The man that built it insulated these spaces with a type of vermiculite. Mine never creosoted up. We partially cured my dads by wrapping fiberglass insulation around it in the attic area. The attic being cooler was where the problem was.
Prevention meausres are to keep the flue hot, and burn year old, seasoned wood.
You being gone during the day is the problem.
could you get some sort of a timer system that would periodically open the damper and let it burn a little hotter, then close it back down?
