Make sure your flue is open, and then wait until the temps equalize before lighting a fire. There's more to this.......see links below.I have a indoor fireplace,,,and when you open glass door smoke pores in what am i doing wronge,,,this is my fi
Open the flu...





You're sure it's a wood-burning fireplace (you can laugh, but I've had renters screw that up).I have a indoor fireplace,,,and when you open glass door smoke pores in what am i doing wronge,,,this is my fi
are you sure the flue is open?
To get the smoke to go up the chimney you need to create a draft,open the flute and if your fireplace doesn't have an outside air intake,open a nearby window until the fire is well established.
I had this problem turned out my flue was not fitted properly and they had in fact put it in upside down. I also had the chimney swept and that helped, best to call someone to take a look at it.
Yes, it's either the flue or some kind of bird discovered your chimney as prime real estate for a nest. One other possibility if you have a large fireplace or two that share the same chimney is draw. Draw is the ability of the chimney to pull heat and smoke up and out. Sometimes (usually in the situation just mentioned) you have to ';jump-start'; the draw. Do this by taking a few pieces of newspaper rolled into a crude torch. Light one end and hold the flames up to the flue. When the flames seem to be pulled up into the chimney it's working. Hint: don't try to get the draw going until after you've just lit the fire. Again if your flue is closed or the chimney is clogged jump-starting the draw won't work.
with a wood burning stove you have to open the damper, to let all the smoke go out the chimney.
Are you making sure the flu is open when you light the fire?
make sure it is a REAL fireplace!!!!!!!!!!!go on the roof and be sure you can SEE all the way down!!!!!
Before you light the fire, be sure the flu is open. Then when you light the fire, close the doors, and when you get it going, open the doors. If this doesn't work, have someone come and check your chimney. It could be stopped up with a birds nest or leaves.
sounds like you have the flu closed there should be a switch somewhere on your fire some are near the top most are near the botton.
