Unwanted Riff Raff.
Pretty simple, really. Either the flue now stays much hotter - so creosote doesn't condense until it hits the open air, or the compounds that create creosote are being burned before they reach my chimney (and creating more heat IN the house).
Since I can assure you that the first option ain't happening, flue temps are 1/2 to 2/3 what they were with the old stove that created enough creosote to need cleaning 3-5 times per season, I have to assume it's the 2nd option.
Hope your brain stops twitching long enough to comprehend this.
