Ok here's the story.
My house is here http://g.co/maps/b4hek
The left corner of my house faces directly north.
My wood stove dealer i believe keeps blowing smoke up my arse and im getting tired of getting smoke and Co2 in my home!
When ever i have a wind from the south east blowing to the west i get smoke in the house. No matter what i do. I had the fire going tonight totally roaring. 4 logs fully engulfed, stove top at 700, full air and the wind still blew smoke down my chimney and into my living room. I also crack a window in that side of the house. it helps a little but smoke still enters. I can watch the flames get really heavy, then go out, smoke pours though the air vent. Then when the gust dies down the fire kicks back in.
Heres my setup
Sierra 8000 Tec wood stove
Heated bulb. Prewarms the chimney and keeps it warm to help prevent downdrafts. The wood stove guy said this would solve my problem $380 bucks later and same issue.
3 feet to 90 degree elbow, 3 feet into wall,
25+ foot chimney
regular cap.
The chimney is not above my roof line. and sits on the east side of the home.
Should i get a special cap? Extend my chimney above the roof?
Any idea's?
