One problem with choking a tent stove down is that the chimney creosotes up when burning coniferous softwoods.
Old wives' tale. "Rural" legend. Moisture content is what determines creosote deposition, not the specie of wood burned.
That is true. Flue gas temp is what determines creosote buildup, so a cooler fire will produce more. Burning softwoods however, has nothing to do with it.
Would that isn't dry causes creosote because turning the moisture in the wood to steam, markedly lowers flue gas temps.
