Smoking - Fireplace and Chimney Professionals

A leading cause for concern when operating a wood burning fireplace is smoke backing up into the house. This can happen on any appliance and for a lot of different reasons. Watch our video or read below for step-by-step instructions…

(Only check the damper when there is NOT a fire burning). The damper is a door like flap that opens and closes either at the top of your chimney or at the bottom by way of a handle. Sometimes they can come off track or get stuck in position. If either of these is the case you may have a simple fix on your hands.

From the ground outside, make sure you can see daylight through it as this can be a simple indicator as to the level of cleanliness of your system. The greater the build up the more restricted the openings become and a higher chance of having a back-up.

A cold chimney may sound unusual but it’s very common and can cause a lot of frustration. Chimneys only work when the air inside of it is warmer than what’s outside. So if you open the damper or door of your fireplace and a cold blast of air comes right at you then your chimney will need to be primed with some warm air before attempting to light your main fire.
