SECTION XII: CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors. These combine with moisture
to form creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire
– as a result, creosote residue accumulates on the lining of the flue. If ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected on a regular basis during the heating season, to
determine if a creosote build-up has accumulated. If it has, the creosote should be removed to
reduce the risk of chimney fire.
WARNING: THINGS TO REMEMBER IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:
