    Looks like soot, creosote is black, flaky, shiny hard chunks sometimes depending on the level. What you have is good if you get stuff from your chimney.

    Right where I want to be.
    Normal byproduct of good burning.
    No experience with creosote remover products. Shouldn't be needed if firewood is good and burn habits are too.

    Thank you I try and burn dry where I'm at in the pnw some my wood gets sideways rain little wet... I take it soot can ignite just as easy as creosote?

    Nah, soot is not the fire hazard that creosote is...not sure it will even burn at all...
