1st fire tonight. Loaded up stove. No supercedars yet used fatwood. Light it and smoke is comeing out the bottom grate where the warm air blows from. Does that sound like my chimney liner is loose and or disconnected. I blew out fatwood and that is where I am at right now....smoked out living room no fire. Chimney has not been cleaned but burned 4 year old seasoned locust all winter. Plan on cleaning in a couple days. Visually inspected liner from roof and did not seem very dirty at all. Avalon perfect fit insert, BTW.
I am assuming liner is disconnected loose as smoke is coming from a place that the fan circulates the air around.
