well I am still having drafting issue with my chimneys
1. It smells like smoke in home when no fire is burning. I have researched and I think it is due to the ash dumb door not sealing. I have a new one on way, and being installed.
2. I am also having the pipe go up through the chimney cap soon because it is still coming back into the basement flue and dumping smoke into basement when I am burning upstairs.
I had to get a chimney liner for my hot water tank about 3 months ago. after they did that this is when i noticed the smoke smell in my house even when a fire wasn't burning. Could this be due to a chimney liner from a hot water tank?
Also what is this vent coming off the back of the chimney? I think this could be causing some back drafting issues.
