Back Smoking To minimize smoke from entering the room when refueling, crack both doors open slowly at the same time and refuel. Excessive amounts of fuel or wet fuel will also create the potential for back smoking when the door is open due to over capacity of burning fuel or low draft due to low firebox temperature. -

Light the paper and leave the door ajar for 8-10 minutes. This will induce a draft in the chimney and start the wood burning. - Page 22 • Never plug the outside air supply.
