Hi
We had two burners installed earlier this year, both with flexible liners.
Occasionally we come home to find the whole downstairs smelling strongly of an odour which can only be described as a mixture of woodsmoke and something else. Very noticeable yesterday after the ambient temperature picked up. Burners have not been used for a couple of months or more.
My guess is that the cowls on top of the chimney stack are heating up in the strong sunlight, then the flexible liners are heating up and hence down to the the stoves.
It's of some concern as unsure if these 'fumes' could be dangerous.
I guess the thing to do is contact the installer but wondered if anyone else has ever experienced this?
Sorry if this posting is under wrong the catergory..
