Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in
the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a
year during the heating season to determine when a
creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has
accumulated (1/8" [3 mm] or more) it shall be removed
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
