My qudra fire 7100 is three years old. I get a lot of smoke in the house when its up an running. Starting a new fire requires the burning of paper first to warm up the chimney. If I do not do this it generates so much smoke in the firebox that it starts coming out the intake vents at the bottom of the fireplace. I have never had this problem with other fireplaces I've owned. Also when its not being used I get a lot of cold air coming out the bottom intake vents. I have it set to heat outside air. I hope its just my operating ignorance and not a mechanical problem. I did have it installed by the fireplace shop I bought it from so I hope it was done properly. Any input would be helpful. Wow i'm sitting here just ready to send this post and my smoke alarms go off.
Thanks
