Nate Posted October 30, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2013 In the first world, folks got central heat here in the second world, we burn wood to keep warm so I started my fire and came in here and read a few threads made a post or two....started smelling the maple wood burning...smelled kinda nice Then I went back out in the front room and the house was filling up with smoke! Sometimes, when its not real, real cold the wood smoke stays down before the air in the chimney starts to rise. If your fire didn't start right up and smoldered a little, well... when that happens, the smoke will come out the front air inlets of the stove and fills up the house! if you're paying attention, its not a big problem. Wad up some newspaper and chuck it in and get some more heat in there and off you go but if you're posting, well, the house fills up with smoke! so now the fire is going good, all the windows and the front door are wide open, I got the fans in the windows venting the smoke out, so we'll be alright in a little while country living...hey, it beats snakes in the house!
