known as back puffing, you need to find a solution to remedy it.

Unfortunately this is not a do it yourself project. 3. If your fireplace is emitting smoke into your room on windy days you most likely will need a wind chimney cap. This will prevent the wind from pushing the fireplace smoke back down into your home. 4. You could install a chimney fan. The manufacturers of these products guarantee it will stop any smoke from entering your room. They are mounted at the top of the chimney and pull the exhaust out. 5. The size of the fireplace opening can be reduced by adding a smoke guard. Measure the opening of the fireplace, multiplying width by height. This is a shield that is made in various sizes and can be purchased from a fireplace shop. |
