barrel and along any air leakage or exhaust areas when the appliance is operated under incorrect conditions, such as
incorrect burn grate position, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, etc.

thus producing a tar like substance and other organic vapours that combine with expelled moisture. The smoke will
have a black color to it and the residue left behind on surfaces, will also be black in color.

wipe out any formation with a hand towel. Creosote is similar to tar, when warmed it will begin to run, become like
liquid, and is easier to clean in this state.
