Been a warmer winter this year so the boiler has been idling more and probly didn't help that I was running the boiler hard to keep shop warm for concrete. So the boiler water hasn't been at optimum water temps.

Anyways just finish cleaning it out yesterday and removed 95% of creosote What a pain to get to the boiler tubes and clean em.

These 2 buckets came just out of the boiler tubes. If anyone has a use for wood tar/creosote let me know I'll probly burn them this spring to get rid of it lol.
