The 3 Stages of Creosote (The Danger Scale)

"Creosote" is the tar-like, flammable byproduct of burning wood. Not all creosote is the same.

Stage 1 (Soot): A light, feathery dust. It's easy to remove with a brush. This is the best-case scenario.
Stage 2 (Porous & Crumbly): This is a harder, more concentrated deposit. It looks like black, crunchy flakes. This is a clear sign you're overdue for a cleaning and is a serious fire risk.
Stage 3 (Glazed): This is the most dangerous. It looks like a shiny, black, tar-like "glaze" on your flue. It is extremely flammable and the hardest to remove, often requiring special chemicals.

How Does a Chimney Fire Start?

All it takes is one hot ember to ignite the creosote build-up. A chimney fire can burn at over 2000°F. This can crack your chimney liner, allowing the fire to spread to your home's wooden frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need a chimney sweep? The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that all chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected and cleaned at least once per year.
I only use my fireplace a few times a year. Am I good? No. Even a few fires can create a dangerous "glazed" creosote, especially if you burn unseasoned wood. The "once-a-year" rule is for safety, regardless of use.
I have a gas fireplace. Do I need this? You don't get creosote, but you still need an annual inspection. Birds can build nests in the flue, and a blockage can cause dangerous carbon monoxide to vent back into your home.
What about those "creosote cleaning logs"? Those logs are a supplement, not a substitute. They can help reduce some (not all) creosote but cannot replace a physical, professional scrubbing.
