Chimney grime (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soot

'chimney grime' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for soot that I've seen before include "Carbon black" , "Carbon dust from fire" , "Stuff from chimneys" , "Residue from burning" , "Chimney deposit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The Star Tribune.
