Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Creosote Dangers-How it Catches Fire
Creosote formation in chimneys cannot be avoided. Homeowners are however encouraged to conduct regular chimney sweeps to minimize creosote levels in the chimney. You are also encouraged to use seasoned wood in your fires as they are known to produce little carbon by-products. You are also advised to ensure good air circulation in your fireplace to support combustion.

Creosote is foul smelling, gummy and highly combustible just as the fuel it comes from. High creosote buildup in the chimney is thus discouraged as strong flames from the fireplace may get into contact with the creosote and cause it to ignite. The intensity of creosote fires will vary depending on the level of creosote buildup.

Chimney fires may become more disastrous if there are cracks in the chimney and the fire flames get into contact with flammable materials in the chimney flue; thereby spreading the fire to other parts of the house.

The woodstoves and fireplaces are made to have wood fueled fires when providing heat for the home. The chimney expels by products of the combustion that are substances given off while wood burns. Since these substances exit fireplace and wood stove or flow up in cooler chimney condensation happens. Resulting residue, which sticks to inner walls of chimney is named creosote. The creosote is brown or black in appearance and usually is flaky and crusty. It's the tar like, sticky, drippy, shiny & hardened. All forms may happen in a chimney system. So, whatever form this takes, creosote is very combustible.

Suppose it builds up sufficient quantities & catches fire inside chimney flue then result will be chimney fire. Suppose creosote builds up sufficient quantities it can sustain long and hot destructive fire. Some conditions encourage buildup of the creosote, unseasoned wood, restricted air supply, and cooler chimney temperatures are factors that will accelerate buildup of the creosote on the chimney flue walls. The creosote fire will burn with blast furnace intensity it sets off the frightening chain of the events.

Flaming balls of creosote shoot out from chimney top on the roof, cracking and crumbling mortar, the brick chimneys crack open, steel liners warp, separate and buckle at seams & masonry in chimney expands with force that the sections of chimney will blow out. The flames will spread to structure and roof of house even explode in a room. Much of energy is used at first to drive off water trapped in cells of firewood. Burning the green wood keeps resulting smoke cooler, since it moves through system encouraging creosote formation.
