Had first real burn. Went outside to check if secondaries are working smoke looked white and "steamy".
Kept checking, at one point smoke or steam coming off or through bricks half way up chimney (12') and from behind facia. Very hard to tell exactly whats going on.
Minor heart attack ran into attic feel where chimney runs up side of house no heat on sheathing. There is a hole in sheathing where I can feel the brick. It was not hot.
Got on roof and climbed ladder to feel brick, warmer than just a brick paver but nothing hot.
Feel siding, not hot.
Into bedrooms feeling walls, no heat.
In my panic left air down a little stove got hot. Opened air, turned fan on and maxed it out then sprayed water from a spray bottle to slow things down.
Stove temp down.
Been checking now for awhile no change the "smoke or steam is dissipating.
Does a new liner smoke from machine oil? If so how would it get out of clay tile liner?
Had alot of rain here could the brick just be steaming off even though not hot to touch?
I'm a little freaked ever heard or seen this?
New install. Installer checked chimney and had it cleaned by different guy, Both gave thumbs up. Brick chimney with clay tile and full double wall SS liner.
