Smokey
Does anyone know how to use a fireplace without making the house smokey?
We had it inspected and cleaned because the house is quite old, and it was fine. We use seasoned, dry wood. But last night we had our first fire of the season after making sure we did everything right, and the house still became smokey, and today I have a killer headache. What are we doing wrong? It would save us so much money on heating if we could figure out how to use it without smoking ourselves out.
Of course the damper is open.
I said that I had it cleaned and inspected, and everything was obviously clean and in working order. I also said that the damper was open.
RL and surelynot have your answer. The colder outside the more paper you’ll want to get burning to heat the air in the flue. I light alot of paper under the wood and several crumpled pieces in my hand , held as high up the flue as I can reach. The trick is to have the paper under the wood lit as you’re holding the paper up the flue without singing your arms. This never failed me, no matter how cold in Minnesota.
