Check for flue blockage.
Pre-warm flue before starting fire (refer to starting fire
section).
Check for adequate vent height (refer to chimney
assembly section).
Open window below the appliance towards the wind.

adding wood
Start with paper & kindling to establish bed of coals (refer
to starting fire section).
Flue blockage such as birds’ nests or
leaves in termination cap
Have chimney inspected for creosote and cleaned by a
certified chimney sweep.
Down draft or negative pressure
Competition with exhaust devices

pressure section).
Open window below the appliance towards the wind.
Fire burns too fast Extremely dry or soft wood Mix in hardwood.
