Anaconda chimneys are shorter than Butte's and simpler - typically one flue, brick, serving a wood stove or a furnace in a modest single-story house. Less complexity to inspect, but noticeably less draft to work with, because draft scales with stack height and these stacks are not tall.

That shows up in what comes out of them. Where a Butte sweep often produces flaky first-stage deposit, an Anaconda sweep more often produces the tarry, sticky second-stage kind that comes from burns which never quite got hot enough. It takes longer to remove and it is a much better predictor of a chimney fire.

Why a stalled burn deposits worse creosote

Creosote is not one substance, it is three stages of the same process. Stage one is a light, flaky soot that brushes off easily and comes from hot, well-oxygenated fires. Stage two is tarry and sticky. Stage three is the hard glaze, and it is effectively fuel bonded to the flue wall.

What pushes a fire from stage one toward stage three is anything that lowers combustion temperature or restricts air: wet wood, a stove damped right down overnight, or weak draft. The Deer Lodge Valley inversion supplies the last of those for days at a time in midwinter, which is why we treat Anaconda flues as needing an annual sweep even when the household burns modestly. The volume of wood matters less than the conditions it was burned under.
