Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Creosote Defined

Creosotes are carbonaceous chemicals which are formed by distillation of tars, and by decomposition brought about by high temperatures of plant-derived material, like wood or fossil fuel. It is also used to preserve foodstuffs and wood, and also used as medical purposes. Some of the creosote types were used as a treatment for components of a wooden ship, and other wooden structures like railroad and bridges. Some of this creosote may be found inside the chimney where wood and coal burns producing a black powdery or flaky substance consist of amorphous carbon and tarry smoke. Creosotes are primary chemicals responsible for firmness, aroma, and flavor which are a quality of a smoked meat.

Creosote was derived from the Greek word kreas meaning "meat" and soter meaning "preserver".The wood-tar creosote and the coal-tar creosote are the two main kinds known in the industry. Wood-tar creosote was used for meat preservation, ship treatment, and medical purposes as an expectorant that is used especially on coughs, antiseptic to prevent the growth of disease-causing microorganisms, astringent a substance that causes the contraction of body, anaesthetic a substance that induces insensitivity to pain, and laxative a medicine that facilitate evacuation of the bowels. Wood-tar creosote is colorless to yellowish liquid with smoky odor. While the coal-tar creosotes have stronger and more toxic property than the wood –tar creosote.

The coal-tar creosote is mixed with the wood-tar creosote for wood preservation, it is also used for escharotics a substance that burn malignant skin tissue, and coal-tar creosote is also used to prevent necrosis the death of most or all of the cells in an organ. Coal-tar creosote is a greenish-brown liquid in appearance.Creosotes also had a disadvantage like, it contains substances that can harm a human health and for the environment. And it cannot be used in indoors that the wood is dark brown to black and had an oily appearance and odor. What many people think about "smoke" or called as "flue gas" is it is been released by an initial fire: also known as "primary combustion." The flue gas has steam & vaporized and unburned carbon by-products. When flue gas goes out from the wood stove or fireplace, then it drafts higher in cool flue where the condensation takes place.

The cause of the creosote condensation can be flue surface temperature where flue gas gets in touch. It results in carbon condensation that materializes in flue that is creosote. This generally looks black in color. It is a black dust named soot, or crunchy and porous, or tar like: sticky, only till it hardens in glossy glaze. All these creosote stages will take place in a chimney system. So, whatever stage that it forms, creosote is combustible. Suppose it ever comes in huge quantities - and lights inside your chimney flue: then result will be volcanic fire.

Conditions that can encourage creosote buildup: Restricted supply of air, Rain logged or unseasoned wood, and Flue too large for wood burning appliance.
