Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal 
 

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.
