[TheForge] Murphy strikes again. But fails!

[Bruce Freeman]

Frosty,
Natural gas will certainly form soot under the right (wrong?) conditions.  But did you mean to say it would form creosote?  I don't think so.

Their reasoning is usually planted in experience. Anything that burns will 
eventually soot or creosote up, even natural gas. I suppose if you were 
burning straight hydrogen it wouldn't happen but if there's a carbon 
molecule involved it will.

It's hard to convince me it's a mistake overkilling fire safety.
