Hi all, I have been burning for years now and all of a sudden I have smoke coming out the door of the stove when I open it. I am burning 24/7 so its not a start up issue. I keep my flu very clean - its a 6" ss run up almost 30ft thru my clay liner - outside wall masonary chimney. Birds could have not built a nest as I've been burning 24/7 for months.
So my question is - could this be weather related? It is VERY humid right now - maybe upper 40's - been raining for 2 days - everything is sopping.
I have about 2 days of wood left in my basement to burn up before I run out. Then I am going to quit for the season so I dont want to stop now. And the roof is too wet to climb up and take a peek down the flu anyway.
I've felt fortunate to always have strong drafts. Is the air so wet and humid and heavy my draft is too weak? I have never had this happen before - in all weather conditions.
