2.When lighting your fire, a little smoke may escape into the room – more likely if the chimney is cold. To correct this, hold a lighted newspaper up inside the firebox near the open flue damper. This will turn around any down- draft and clear the flue of cold air. As your log fire burns below, the updraft will improve as the chimney heats up.

3.Is your fire too far forward? Move it toward the back with your poker. Keep the fire well within the confines of your fuel grate.

4.Keep your fire up on the grate and the refrac- tory below free of excessive ashes. The fire needs plenty of air movement around the logs.

5.If smoking occurs an hour or two after lighting the fire, perhaps your well-insulated house is too airtight and there is scarcely any way for replacement air to enter and feed the fire. Check to see if your outside combustion air kit (if installed) is open. Check outside to ensure no obstructions are in front of exterior air entry. Open a window slightly, open doors to one or two rooms and see if this stops the smoking.

6.Is a vent fan, exhaust hood or central heating/cooling system stealing combustion air from your fireplace? If their volume is high enough, this can cause negative pressure and an unwanted downdraft – and smoking.

7.Is your wood fuel too wet or unseasoned? Or does it contain some chemical substance that causes sputtering, smoking and toxic fumes?

8.Figure 5 illustrates the correct height of your chimney top. It is unlikely that your instal- lation does not adhere to the installation instructions. However, if not correct, you could experience an unusual downdraft. Usu- ally, the best solution is to increase the chimney height. This may also be necessary if nearby trees, adjoining roof lines or a hill is causing a downdraft condition.

9.Remember, your fireplace has been de- signed as a supplemental heating device only, it is not intended to heat your entire home.
