Down draft or negative pressure Do not use exhaust fans during start-up (refer to negative Competition with exhaust devices pressure section). Open window below the fireplace towards the wind. Fire burns too fast Extremely dry or soft wood Mix in hardwood. Mix in less seasoned wood after fire is established (refer to wood fuel section). No glass doors Add glass doors to slow down air flow.
