I have shut down my stove for the year, And now i am getting this smell in the house that I can't stop.When I use the exhaust fan in the kitchen it draws the smell out of the Wood Stove, Or when the heater comes on it draws the smell out of the stove. It smells like the chimney but I have everything closed. How do I stop this.?
