Ask google AI?

Creosote would be in a chimney for a wood burning stove or fireplace. Not in a chimney for an oil or gas burning boiler or furnace.

This is just another example of how poor the AI technology is and how no one should make any decisions based on information from AI without verifying the information from a real person who has real intelligence.

Update: I had a chimney liner installed yesterday and both chimneys (furnace and woodstove) cleaned. Hope that solves the problem. Thanks very much to everyone who chimed in on this problem.
