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-items “creosote”.
As the smoke travels up the fairly 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 really flammable and unstable coating within your chimney. The only way to eliminate this danger is by having your chimney swept with a specific brush.

There are 3 diverse 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 types of creosote can occur in one chimney system. Whatever kind it takes, creosote is hugely combustible. If it builds up in adequate quantities – and ignites within the chimney flue: the consequence is a volcanic chimney fire. This can all be prevented by a simple chimney sweep to get rid of the dangerous creosote.
