Tar-like residue from incomplete wood combustion. Highly flammable.
Condensed wood smoke that has settled on cool flue walls, ranging from black and sticky to hard and glassy. It grades into three stages: Stage 1 is dust, Stage 2 is crunchy, and Stage 3 is hard glaze, the form behind most chimney fires. Annual sweeping handles Stages 1–2; Stage 3 takes restoration.
