Contact your local, municipal, state, or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney
fire before there is any chance that it may happen.
Creosote – Formation And Need For Removal
When wood (especially green wood) is burned without adequate heat or air supply, it produces tar and other
organic vapours (smoke), which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapours 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,
which could be hazardous. Check frequently for creosote build-up. In the event of a insert or chimney
component failure, replace only with equipment that is equivalent to the original, available from your
Osburn dealer.
Your Osburn insert has been designed to reduce the amount of creosote produced. Even so, the chimney
connector pipe and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to
determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local Osburn dealer and purchase
a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned.
