Lately I've been looking at the stack outside and when I have flame in the fire box I get smoke out the chimney. It's not a lot but it's blue gray smoke. Once I turn her down and snuff out the flame it stops.
Could it be the bypass? When I engage I turn the lever til it makes that locking sound. I checked it before the install and it seemed good and tight with a good gasket but I also saw the video on the BK web site where they state it may need tightening after awhile. I don't see any smoke or flame getting sucked up near the bypass so maybe that's not it.
I'll have to check the cat gasket as well but last time I checked everything looked good. Maybe the smoke is just traveling too fast through the cat at higher burn rates and doesn't have the time to do it's job?
My Woodstock is almost instant no smoke when I engage the cat so it seems the BK should be the same.
