One of the elements that make up the charm of country living, is, of course, oven. Its role is so great that any furnace problems translate into a large enough discomfort for gardeners. And this discomfort is especially great when in their home smokes oven. What is the cause of this phenomenon, how to fight it - these issues and we want to dedicate our article today, after noting that the causes of these may be different for the old and new furnaces.

Why does smoke the old furnace

The main reasons due to which the stove smokes old, as a rule, are:

wear design

As a result of continuous operation on the body of the furnace or the flue often deformation are formed, a crack or burnouts, substantially reducing thrust level available there. If you notice the occurrence of these defects, they must be eliminated. To do this, do the following:

• prepare the refractory brick in the required amount;
• remove damaged cells and a solution of furnace brickwork retracted clean surface;
• to prepare a sand-clay solution;
• install new brick elements by aligning their surface.

If necessary, special plastering preparing a solution comprised of: clay, sand and asbestos, which ratio is 2: 1: 0.1.

Wrong choice of fuel

Many people are surprised by the fact that the oven smokes because of the wrong choice of fuel. This may occur, e.g., when instead of coal or peat into briquettes of solid aggregates used dry wood. This is due to the fact that such units the size of the blower is considerably greater than in a wood stove. For this reason, the air coming out is not warming up properly and, therefore, do not rise up, staying indoors and keeping it the smell of smoke and soot.

To solve this problem, you must change the type of fuel or reduce the amount of ash.

chimney damp

In the case of long periods of inactivity in the furnace flue can cause condensation, cause a fairly large level of smoke. To warm up the system and to remove moisture accumulated there, enough to open the damper and set fire to the bottom there is something out of flammable materials, such as wood chips, sawdust or crumpled paper. Warming up the chimney so you can safely proceed to the firebox of the furnace.

soot accumulation

The accumulation of soot in the chimney is the most common cause of reducing the craving. Smoke, heat reduction, heat deterioration and even fire may occur even in cases where the thickness of the soot layer is only slightly greater than seemingly insignificant size of 3 mm. Accumulation of soot is most commonly seen when burning softwood and insufficient insulation of the chimney.

It is natural that with soot accumulations should be promptly and properly to deal. This may be done using mechanical methods. For information on how to do this, we have already told in an article on this issue,. To do this, there are also special chemicals.

traction rollover

After a long downtime draft in the furnace can significantly be reduced or even tip over, causing smoke to the outside will not be displayed and will accumulate inside. The reason for this phenomenon is most often mechanical blockage of channels and furnace chimney.

To solve this problem, you can perform one or more of the following operations:

• Chimney disclose forests, located in the attic, and warm it up;
• open damper cleanup and warm up the chimney;
• put something easy burning in the chimney cavity of the channel.

Why the new stove smokes

If a new furnace begins to smoke, the cause of this unpleasant phenomenon to be found in the following:

Incorrectly selected chimney height

New furnaces smoke most often due to this particular cause. You should know and remember that the chimney should rise to 75 cm above the roof and 50 cm above the ridge. Correct calculation pipe height must be based on the parameters specified in the following scheme:

If necessary, the chimney can be slightly lengthened.

Violation of technology in the construction of the furnace

In most cases, non-compliance violations consist dimensional parameters or deviations from the tested time erection furnace process.

To learn how to properly fold the oven Dutchwoman, for example, you can learn Here in this article.

In case of such deviations furnace design has to realign again.

poor ventilation

Oven smokes and also due to the fact that in a heated room poor ventilation. To such an incident did not occur in your home or in your bath, remember that the ventilation must be properly equip virtually everywhere, including when it comes to the bath, steam room and car wash.

The lack of or improper arrangement of the manifold
