SECTION VIII: THINGS THAT CAUSE THE UNIT TO SMOKE
It is very important that installations are made airtight – this is best accomplished by
making any clean-out doors airtight and being sure there is no gap between the backplate
and the brick fireplace face. All combustion air entering the system should be drawn through
the slide draft opening which is located above the door. The objective is to keep your
chimney system as hot as possible and prevent “back puffing” through the unit – this is
primarily caused by air entering the system and cooling your chimney.
There are two reasons for chimney downdrafts that cause smoke to enter the house. One
is an air current being deflected down the chimney by nearby objects such as trees, a
building or a hill. The other is the flue gas chilling too quickly and backing up in the system.
When this happens, a gust of wind can force these gases back into the house. Always have
the entire chimney system checked for loose bricks and cement.
If you have any of these problems contact your local dealer or call the factory.
SECTION IX: WHAT CAUSES CREOSOTE?
Creosote is caused by the condensation of the vapor that exists in the escaping smoke –
the moisture level of your fuel will determine the density of this vapor. A severe downdraft as
discussed earlier will also cause creosote. Moisture will form at the coolest point in your
chimney system and at this point will tend to form creosote. The ash is picked up by the
moisture in the system and will build up or run back down the inside of your flue. A chimney
cap will sometimes help if you have this problem; this will allow the chimney system to
maintain more heat, create a better draw and keep some of the wind currents from entering
the flue system. The cap will not correct a poorly constructed chimney or one in bad need of
repair, however – some chimneys will require relining or, in some cases, rebuilding.
