Understanding Creosote

What it is and why it's dangerous

What is Creosote?

Creosote is a natural byproduct of wood burning that sticks to the inside of your chimney flue. It's a combination of tar, soot, and other combustion byproducts.

  • Forms when wood smoke cools
  • Sticky, flammable substance
  • Builds up in layers over time
  • Can become rock-hard if ignored
The Dangers

Creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires. When it ignites, it burns extremely hot and can damage your chimney or spread to your home.

  • Highly flammable when dry
  • Burns at 2000°F+ temperatures
  • Can crack masonry
  • May ignite roof or walls
Prevention Tips

Regular cleaning and proper burning practices can significantly reduce creosote buildup and fire risk.

  • Burn seasoned hardwood only
  • Keep fires hot and clean
  • Avoid smoldering fires
  • Schedule annual cleanings
