Just purchased a Caddy and had a HVAC installer put it in. He's gone now, and the joints of the exhaust are still smoking (2 45's), how long before cresote builds up and seals them?
If I open the door, I get smoke in my face. I have an outside door open, crack the door 1" like they say, and I still get smoke rolling out of the unit. Any insights?
Also, I threw in 4 splits of wood and the fire kicks up. My "damper" is open and with every big flame inside that I can see, there is a puff of smoke that comes out the "damper" in the front of the unit. Why is this? After reading the Greenwood post I'm wondering if I am overloading it. Any help would be appreciated.
I only have (2) 45 deg bends and one 2' piece of single wall inside, then it's up 26 feet outside with double wall attached to the house. I have not built a chase around the pipe yet, just fired the unit up today.
Any help would be appreciated.
