One of the main concerns for homeowners installing a fireplace is learning how to avoid excessive smoke\u2014since it can be bothersome both inside your home and to neighbors.<\/p>\n
First and foremost: it is not normal for a fireplace to produce smoke inside your home. If this happens, it means the combustion process is not correct\u2014whether due to improper wood burning, air regulation issues, or chimney draft\u2014and it needs to be addressed. Here\u2019s how to resolve it:<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n Use suitable Wood.\u00a0<\/span>Make sure it is thoroughly dry (no moisture), because wet wood generates excessive smoke as the water evaporates. It also causes soot to cling to the glass. Avoid resinous woods (e.g. pine), which produce more smoke when ignited.<\/p>\n Keep the chimney draft clean. An insufficient draft or heavy residue negatively affects the fireplace\u2019s correct operation. It\u2019s recommended to have the chimney swept one to two times per year, depending on usage.<\/p>\n Follow proper ignition procedure. If you close the door or air vents too quickly after lighting, you block the oxygen needed for combustion. The resulting smoke will dirty the glass and cause inefficiency.<\/p>\n By following these recommendations, you will ensure correct combustion, avoid excessive smoke, maintain cleaner glass, and prevent unpleasant odors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n SHARE ON YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKS<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] RELATED ARTICLES<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blog fullwidth=”off” posts_number=”6″ include_categories=”56,97,49″ use_manual_excerpt=”off” excerpt_length=”0″ show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” show_excerpt=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the main concerns for homeowners installing a fireplace is learning how to avoid excessive smoke\u2014since it can be bothersome both inside your home and to neighbors.
