Well... it's time for me to shutdown the insert. It's just getting too warm to burn anymore. It's been fun, but now I have to think about the hot summers and air conditioning... I seem to have a problem with a light smoky smell coming through my insert when it gets warm outside. I figure it's due to a draft coming from my chimney into the house and wondered if anyone thinks it's a good idea to try to cover the liner at the top. I figured this would stop any air from coming down the chimney and probably stop bugs, spiders, whatever from trying to roost there. Sooo...
1) Do you think this would help reduce the smell?
2) Do you think this would make it worse? Like the liner needs some sort of ventlation?
2) Any reason this would be a bad idea? (besides trying to light up a fire while it's sealed?)
I have a outside brick chimney with an insulated ss liner about 20 or so feet.
