I have the same question! Just had my chimney cleaned and the guy said there was no scientific evidence that it helped. For what it's worth, last years chimney cleaner told me to do it because it just might help.

"Creasolt" I've never heard of. Creosol is found in creosote. It's a waste product of burning wood in your fireplace.

Creosote should be cleaned periodically to prevent excessive buildup which creates a fire hazard.
