Why can smoke come into my room?

  • The quality of the wood: green or wet wood can cause more smoke than the fireplace can evacuate.
  • Air systems such as air conditioning, kitchen or bathroom fans can take in the air required by the fireplace (negative air circulation).
  • Misuse: Always open the primary air control before recharging the heater and slowly open the door.
  • The tubes of the stove and chimney: do not forget that (90º) elbows  and long horizontal tubes reduce the air circulation.
  • Too short a chimney which does not provide enough air circulation in the fire chamber.
  • A cold chimney can prevent air circulation (negative air).
  • A pipe liner must be properly connected to the chimney and the correct size.
