Abstract: A creosote removal compound comprising hydrated aluminum silicate in an amount totaling between forty and eighty percent of the total overall mixture, calcium hydroxide in an amount totaling between fifteen and fifty percent of the total overall mixture and sodium bicarbonate in an amount totaling between five and twenty-five percent of the total overall mixture. The compound is formed having a mesh size of about three hundered and fifty so as to enable the same to be applied using a conventional dusting device. In other embodiments, the amount of the sodium bicarbonate may be substituted therefore with potassium bicarbonate. In another embodiment, the calcium hydroxide may be reduced by as much as twenty-five percent of the total mixture and substituted therefore with magnesium hydroxide. The compound lends itself to direct dry application to the creosote.
