What creosote is, in plain terms
When you burn wood, the smoke carries unburned tar and gas up the flue. As it hits the cooler upper chimney, it condenses and sticks to the walls as a dark residue called creosote. Every fire adds another thin layer.
On its own that sounds harmless. The problem is that creosote is one of the most flammable things in your home. Once the buildup reaches about an eighth of an inch, the National Fire Protection Association considers it enough to fuel a chimney fire, and it needs to come out.
Removing it is the entire reason chimney maintenance exists. Clear the creosote and the fireplace draws better, smells better, and, most important, is far less likely to catch fire.
The three stages of creosote
Not all buildup is equal. The stage decides how hard it is to remove, and whether a brush will do or the flue needs a chemical treatment.

A chimney fire is fast, hot and quiet
Fire departments respond to tens of thousands of chimney fires in the U.S. every year, and most start in flues that were overdue for cleaning. A creosote fire can burn past 2,000 degrees, hot enough to crack a clay liner and reach the framing behind your walls. Many go unnoticed until the damage is done. Removing the fuel is the one thing that reliably prevents it.
