Carbon can indeed be easily removed from an existing log set. Using a cotton rag and a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar, gently blot the surface of the logs to remove the carbon buildup. The logs will not be perfectly clean when done, as exposure to heat permanently darkens them, but a large amount of the excess carbon will wipe away.
