CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE – Formation and Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors which combine with ex-
pelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue
of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote resi-
due accumulates on the flue lining. If ignited, this
creosote creates an extremely hot fire which may
ignite surrounding materials resulting in a build-
ing fire.

The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least twice a month during the
heating season to determine if a creosote buildup
has occurred.

If creosote has accumulated, it should be re-
moved. Failure to remove creosote may result in
ignition and may cause a house/building fire. Creo-
sote may be removed using a chimney brush or
other commonly available materials from your lo-
ignition and may cause a house/building fire. Creo-
sote may be removed using a chimney brush or
other commonly available materials from your lo-
cal hardware retailer.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the unit or
chimney connector should glow red, reduce the
fire by closing the inlet air control and immedi-
ately call the fire department.

CAUTION: A CHIMNEY FIRE MAY CAUSE IGNI-
TION OF WALL STUDS OR RAFTERS WHICH
WERE ASSUMED TO BE A SAFE DISTANCE
FROM THE CHIMNEY. IF A CHIMNEY FIRE HAS
OCCURRED, HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY IN-
SPECTED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT BEFORE
USING AGAIN.
