got my chimney swept 3months ago. All was fire i bought a self lighting fire log and all smoke went up the chimney. I then added wood it was fine.
recently i bought some coal to test it out before winter.
i lit some wood and paper before the coal but there was smoke pouring into the house. Was it because i didnt light the fire fast enough so there was no hot air to draw up the chimney?
I then did a smoke test and the smoke does go up the chimney but occasionally it will be blown back down??
anyhelp with this ?
thanks
