Wood burning

Been burning wood since last fall. My chimney is getting all black on
the outside. Why is that? Not that much build up on the inside.

Could be poor draft with the solids in the smoke wafting down. Could be a
porous stone with no liner and the creosote leaking through. Need more info
or a photo to get a better idea.

It's cinder block with a good liner. Must be the cap. I do notice the
smoke wafting down at times. I can stand in the driveway and the smoke
blows in my face. When the rains come back after winter I suppose it
will all wash down.

Could be muddy Racoons climbing up to stay warm.

no ransley you dumbass. One would see muddy raccoon footprints if that
were the case.
