Contents

If you run into the problem of your stove plastering smoke, it’s crucial to address the situation immediately. Not only does this inconvenience affect the performance of your wood stove, but it can also be dangerous to the health and safety of your home. Here are some common reasons why your stove may be plastering smoke, along with helpful tips for fixing it.

Common Causes of Your Stove Smoking

Poor ventilation

Make sure the flue is clear and not clogged by soot or debris buildup.

Improper design

Another common cause is an improper design of the chimney or flue. If the height or diameter of the duct is not adequate, smoke backflow may occur.

Poor quality fuel

The type of wood you use can also influence whether or not your stove revokes smoke. Wet or poorly dried firewood tends to produce more smoke and debris, which can cause plaster problems.

Soot buildup

Soot and creosote can build up in the flue over time, making it difficult for smoke to pass outside.
