Did you know that there are two types of smoke? Well, there are!

The two types are wet and dry smoke:

Wet smoke comes from plastic and rubber, usually low heat or slow-burning fires.  The smoke is black and thick with a strong odor and leaves a sticky and smeary residue on the walls, ceiling, and everything within the room. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean than dry smoke.

Dry smoke is usually fast burning, with high temperatures; the heat rises, which means the smoke does too!
