F. Check the smoke pipe and make certain each
joint is tight and the connections to the Vapor-
Fire Furnace and chimney are air tight.
G. Check the ashes. Ash pan and fire compartment
may be overloaded with ashes.
H. Check type of wood being burned. If too green or
wet wood is being used, it may cause excessive
smoking.
I. Check your chimney for down drafts. This is
caused by air currents being deflected down
the chimney from higher objects, such as trees ,
buildings, and hills. This problem can usually be
corrected with an open vented chimney cap.
J. Make sure the chimney clean-out door is tightly
closed.
K. If other fuel-burning devises are connected to the
chimney, they may be causing draft problems.
This must be corrected by your heating contrac-
tor.
L. Remove any mesh from your chimney cap.
