All,
Running the fireplace (Heatilator Constitution) for the third time tonight. Got Chimney Temps up to about 550 (certainly the hottest it has been) and saw my first secondary burns.
But.... Smoke Alarms went off, waking 4 year old and worrying wife. Not a smokey smell, other than what would be expected from opening up the fireplace, but a chemically, new appliance heating up kinda smell.
From everything I read here the stove is operating normally. I checked EVERYWHERE for problems and see none.
Has anyone else had the smoke alarms go off during break in burns?
Thanks,
Jeff
