What is creosote and why is it risky?
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 really flammable and unstable coating inside your chimney. The only way to take away this danger is by possessing your chimney swept with a particular brush.
There are 3 distinct stages of Creosote
Fine black dust referred to as soot
Porous, Loose and Crunchy
Glaze: tar-like drippy and sticky when warm but hardens when cool
All types of creosote can take place in 1 chimney program. What ever form it requires, creosote is highly combustible. If it builds up in enough quantities – and ignites inside the chimney flue: the consequence is a volcanic chimney fire. This can all be prevented by a basic chimney sweep to eliminate the dangerous creosote.
