Had a log burner installed for 3 years, worked fine until recently. Now even just lighting it results in smoke billowing back into the room from underneath it. Chimney has been swept and logs are good.
Is the steel baffle in place correctly - above the flame area? Occasionally a soot fall will block things up back there, especially if it has the Morso cup type baffle at the bottom of the flue as well as the sheet steel one. Worth removing it to check!

Hi thanks for the responses. Still smoking though:
- have cowl/liner
- vents open
- window open
- test smoker worked
- smoke coming out of chimney
but as soon as try to light a fire....same problem.
Chimney sweep is coming back next week to look from top down - fingers crossed
