Creosote Formation and Removal
When green wood is used or 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 connector and chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly during
the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
