[QUOTE="mainewoods, post: 4645575, member: 40238"] Good chance the oak is not dry enough and you are damping it down a little too much.More than likely you are creating some creosote, and it is burning off when the fire gets hot enough. Creosote gives off a distinctive odor, exactly like you are describing. Be glad it is burning off, not building up in the chimney. [/QUOTE]
