Creosote is a dark, tar-like substance that results from the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as wood and coal. It often accumulates in chimneys and flues, posing significant fire hazards if not regularly cleaned. Besides its flammable properties, creosote can also release harmful pollutants into the air. Understanding its composition and risks is essential for maintaining safe heating practices in homes.
