Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How Creosote Forms in your Fireplace, Chimney or Wood burning Stove
Most homeowners have been reported to confuse creosote to soot thus not paying attention to it. Well, creosote is dangerous and should not be left to buildup in your fire place, chimney or wood burning stove. It is highly combustible thus may ignite and cause fires without warning.

When wood is burnt in the fireplace it releases by-product in the form of gases and particulates. This by products cannot be avoided; and is the reason there is a chimney to direct them out of the fireplace outwards.

Not all the by-products get exhausted out of the chimney. The particulates and gases quickly liquefy and stick together forming a solid substance that easily sticks on the fireplace, wood burning stove and chimney walls. It is this solid that is formed from unburned substances from the fireplace that is referred to as creosote. Creosote can be avoided by using seasoned wood and lighting intense fires that will burn most of the fuel being used.

Anytime fireplace is used, the creosote is been deposited in chimney lining and flue. As creosote is very flammable and creates biggest potential hazard while using fireplace, it is good to try & minimize amount of the buildup that happens. Failure to remove the creosote from flue will result in deadly chimney fire, as per National Fire Protection. NFPA was established at 1896, and mission of the nonprofit organization, is cutting down on worldwide burden of the fire. Over the world, NFPA is leading advocate of the fire prevention & is the authoritative source that develops consensus codes for reducing possibility of the fires. Among the recommendations backed by the careful research is having chimneys inspected yearly for purpose to determine whether the buildup of creosote has reached any dangerous levels.

Why Minimize Creosote?

Creosote has 3 stages. As every stage increases, they will get very hazardous and increasingly tough to remove from flue.

First Stage–First stage of the creosote is flaky soot, which is simple to brush with the basic chimney brush.

Second Stage - Creosote in second stage will be described as hard black and shiny flakes. These flakes have hardened tar, which isn't brushed away easily, however it will get removed without the extreme measures. Most popular way to remove creosote in second stage will be with rotary loop. The powerful drill turns the metal rods, which get your job done.

Third Stage– The third stage of creosote is something that needs to be avoided. Not just is it very difficult to clean, but it's highly concentrated fuel, which resembles coating of the tar dripping down in the chimney liner.
