Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash.

Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
