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-goods “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 extremely flammable and unstable coating inside your chimney. The only way to remove this danger is by having your chimney swept with a unique brush.

If it builds up in sufficient quantities – and ignites inside the chimney flue: the result is a volcanic chimney fire. This can all be prevented by a simple chimney sweep to eliminate the risky creosote.
