Guys,
Any advice please?
I have a lined chimney and a multi fuel burner, both new a year ago. The pot has a cowel on it. For 12 months the set up has worked well, but recently it has started smoking badly, immediately pushing all the smoke out of the burners doors when I open them. When I light the fire, smoke comes out of the pointing to the rear of the flue and the upstairs fills with fumes. I have a sweep coming next week, but my question is; if the chimney is blocked how does smoke escape the liner and seep through the origial flue walls?
The installers assure me that the liner is fixed -top and bottom- and the stack is then 3/4 full of vermiculite.
Cheers guys, any advice appreciated.
James.
