What is creosote and why is it hazardous?

Creosote comes from smoke. It is released by the fire in your fireplace. Flue gas consists of steam and unburned carbon by-products “creosote”.
As the smoke travels up the relatively cool chimney, it condenses, like shower steam on a cold mirror. The cool surface temperature of the flue causes the creosote particles in the warm smoke to solidify. Leaving a extremely flammable and unstable coating within your chimney. The only way to take away this danger is by getting your chimney swept with a specific brush.

There are three different stages of Creosote

Fine black dust named soot

Porous, Loose and Crunchy

Glaze: tar-like drippy and sticky when warm but hardens when cool
All kinds of creosote can occur in a single chimney system. What ever form it takes, creosote is hugely combustible. If it builds up in sufficient quantities – and ignites within the chimney flue: the outcome is a volcanic chimney fire. This can all be prevented by a simple chimney sweep to remove the dangerous creosote.
