a) Chisels, acetone and sticky stuff remover (limonene?) for the foam adhesive residue (possibly completely ineffective), hot soapy water, and 1/10 conc hydrochloric. Some stains and residues still there so considering further action
b) Reports are misleading and always lump in open fires, and I've thus far found no conclusive evidence that high efficiency stoves with tertiary air supply for good secondary combustion contribute meaningfully to pollution or health issues.

I'd love to read more about this as it keeps cropping up on here. We live in Sweden where most people on the country side has a fire going on a daily basis. Old stoves are now forbidden here as they're very innefficient, but I still can't see how they'll affect the air inside the house if fired properly.
We're having a Morsø 1412 installed in our new home office space after new years, really looking forward to having a fire going during work hours

Just read this https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/wood-burning-stoves/article/wood-burning-stoves-what-you-need-to-know/stoves-and-pollution
Also read a guardian article who paints a much gloomier picture. Hardly any facts or links to resources, just the usual blah feeding the worry amongst people.
Conclusion is that most pollutants comes from burning wet logs or coal in inefficient stoves. No shit Sherlock. As usual, learn how to do it properly and use the right kit and it’ll be fine.

a) What did you use to clean the bricks?
b) Use the wood burner sparingly, they’re are awful for the environment and your family health.
