He was a plumbing and heater engineer, corgi reg. Yes he did disconnect the fire and tap it off (blank) i'll get the cowling removed and try the smoke bomb again. cheers for advise oddball

okay i'll get it taken off asap. :oops: does anyone think this will rectify the problem once it's removed,ie. will the smoke from a smoke bomb go up my chimney rather than filling my front room?? cheers
