Note: "Smoke Free" operation is not warranted
nor are we responsible for inadequate system
draft, general construction conditions, inad-
equate chimney heights, adverse wind condi-
tions and/or unusual environmental factors or
conditions beyond our control.
If you do experience a problem, here are several
things to check:
. Remember – always check to ensure your
flue damper is in the open position before
lighting a fire!
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 downdraft 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 heat-
ing/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
installation does not adhere to the instal-
lation instructions. However, if not correct,
you could experience an unusual downdraft.
Usually, 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 is not intended
to heat your entire home.
