First of all, carefully inspect the chimney, which is usually equipped with handles or lines to ensure that it is opened before ignition, otherwise carbon monoxide and smoke will not escape smoothly and will accumulate in the chimney.
In addition, chimney cleaning must be carried out once a year. Clean the corners and debris of the chimney and ensure ventilation. If the first two steps have been completed and there are still problems, consider opening interior windows, which can help create good airflow and ensure that the flame on the chimney can burn properly. Sometimes, the way people build fires can hinder the generation of airflow. By opening the window to bring in enough airflow, a vacuum-like effect can be created to solve the flame problem.
Making sure to open a window or door can also help with the flame. If none of the above works, you may want to consider installing a fireplace door. Because sometimes the height of the fire pile is too high and may hinder the formation of airflow, the fireplace door has a protruding edge that can reduce the height of the flame and create a better airflow effect.
In addition, the installation of a fireplace door ensures that smoke is emitted above the chimney. If none of the above methods solve the problem, consider adding a smoke pot. Try adding an 8-inch smoke pan that can significantly reduce the opening of the flame. This gives enough heat, but the flame is not too large because the opening is reduced. The smoke will be exhausted to the chimney through a larger outlet.
With the above methods, you can better solve the problem of fireplace smoke and ensure a warm fireplace time.
