What is creosote and why is it harmful?

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 reasonably 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 quite 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 3 distinct stages of Creosote

Fine black dust known as soot

Porous, Loose and Crunchy

Glaze: tar-like drippy and sticky when warm but hardens when cool
All forms of creosote can occur in a single chimney program. What ever type it takes, creosote is hugely combustible. If it builds up in sufficient quantities – and ignites within the chimney flue: the result is a volcanic chimney fire. This can all be prevented by a basic chimney sweep to take away the harmful creosote.
