Creosote is a by-product of wood not being burned completely. The smokier the fire, the more creosote is formed.Think of it as smoke is creosote. It smells bad, is corrosive and, if it catches fire, can burn upwards of 2000 degrees. Bad things can happen, such as chimney fire, that can destroy your chimney, if not your home.
