Using Creosote for coal

Tom DenselOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I was cleaning the chimney for my wood burner in my garage and ended up with a pile of creosote on the floor. I accidently stepped on a piece causing it to crumble, It looked just like coal. I scraped up the pile from the floor and placed it in a glass jar and used a piece of dowel rod to pulverize it. It makes pretty convincing coal.

Has anyone used creosote for coal? Is it safe healthwise? I know it is flamable, but, so are many of the other scenery products we use for our layouts. Let me know your thoughts.

Maybe squirt it with some clearcoat to prevent it from breaking down, but yeah, why not?
