Often the owners of their own baths and saunas faced by smoke from a furnace. The reasons for such problems can be mass. This may be due to disorders structure assembly technology, poor traction properly selected fuel etc. Whatever the reason, the solution must be sought quickly.
Old smoke stoves
If the oven is working smoothly for many years, and has recently become hopelessly smoke, the time to think seriously, and everything is well with the design as a whole.
The low degree of traction
Overturned or reduced thrust - it is one of the most common causes of smoke at the age of furnaces. It may be because of the long downtime of the unit. Because of the problems varies direction of air flow and smoke remains indoors. If traction is completely absent, it is necessary to check whether the chimney duct is clogged.

Solve the problem in the following ways:
- Open and heat the chimney in the attic of a hog;
- Open a cleaning door to warm vertical flue;
- Put the chimney set on fire combustible material.
Contamination chimney, furnace tubes and hog
The reason may be stove smoke and pollution of a chimney duct, tube or furnace hog. Adhering soot inside the outlet channels leads to a decrease in the level of heat transfer and, consequently, thrust. The situation significantly increases the risk of fire.
To build-up did not occur, pay more attention to the organization of thermal insulation, avoid coniferous fuel, regularly carry out cleaning of the chimney.
improper fuel
Often smoke caused by using the wrong fuel. Different stoves require different approaches to the selection of kindling. For example, a solid construction or coal smoke when burning dry wood. So for them it is necessary to choose coal or peat briquettes. Shorten the ash-pit compartment and change the type of kindling.
Wear or deformation of the unit
At the age of furnaces risk of strain associated with long hours of work, much higher. Even small cracks, crevices, chipped in the chimney will lead to disruption of heat and smoke.
To solve the problem can be a complete replacement unit (all components) or reconstruction. Eliminate defects yourself is difficult but possible:
- Mix a solution consisting of clay, sand and asbestos (2: 1: 0.1). Add the mixture slurry primer;
- Strip the place of chips, cracks and gaps;
- Apply primer to bare areas;
- Correct Defects with the solution;
- In the final, apply plaster.
New smoke stoves
If the old ovens all clear, then the new will have to tinker. It would seem that the unit only installed what may be the problem? The most common cause of smoke is wrong or poor-quality installation. The problem may be insufficient ventilating rod, and also in the absence of the manifold.
Incorrect calculations of the height of the chimney
This is the most common cause of smoke pollution from new stoves. Standard options:
- pipe dimensions corresponding to the type of fuel: 140x140 mm (kindling coal) 140h270 mm (wood or peat);
- elevation above the roof - 75 cm above the ridge - 50 cm.
Poor ventilation and improper installation
Initially incorrect assembly structure can be the cause of smoke at the first use of the stove. Be sure to install vents, check the quality of traction, insulation, etc.
