Lurker here . Thank you for everyone that has helped support this forum, this place is a wealth of information. With that being said. I tried to search for my problem with not much luck. so here goes.
The venting on my pellet stoveis currently set up this way.
stove to 3" connector piece, to T, to a 90 degree the two foot section through my wall. (The pellet stove is currently 45 degress from the wall kiddy cornered)
The problem i am having is a smoke smell coming from the pellet stove at start up and seems to slightly linger while it is on.
when i first start the pellet stove smoke looks to come from the exhaust blower motor.I have foil taped all of the joints.
My question is this, is the shorter vertical height of my flue preventing the exhaust from exiting the house at start up. is this a common problem? should i increase the vertical height on the inside of my home.
thank you in advance for helping me out with my problem.
