CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
1. Creosote and Soot: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to produce 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.
