Problem with stove - help please!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

After a bit of help please guys. Currently living in a rented property with a wood burning stove. Never had one before and not long after moving in we lit it and there was no draw and the room filled with smoke. So we had it swept by a qualified chimney sweep who was recommended to us. He said it could of done with a sweep but wasn't overly bad. Anyway it's been fine now for about 8 weeks and then this evening my wife went to light it and the same thing happened. All the smoke came out into the room. Surely it can't need sweeping again this soon. The wood we are using is seasoned and when we light it we use firelighters and kindling and small logs to start off with. Anything you think we are doing wrong or potential faults you can think of?

 

We leave the ash in it and only clear out the excess when necessary. I'm gonna have a good look tomorrow to see if there are any obvious blockages but it's strange the same thing has happened within 8 weeks.

 

Here the stove.

If you let the flue get hot first, i.e. really load it up with very dry kindling before you put the logs on does it still do this?

 

Didn't get chance to get the flue hot, it happened almost straight away after lighting. Will give it a go tomorrow when I've had a chance to have a look at it.
