My brother in law is very frustrated with his wood stove and wants to remove it from his house. He would like to use it but it smokes too much. He says he tries to heat the flue but it cools to fast to be effective. It is in the basement. The flue take a 90 degree 1 foot up from the stove goes into the wall another 90 degree turn and up the side of the house in a brick chimney. It passes the ground level then the up stairs and out the top. Any body have any suggestions on how to get the stack to evacuate the smoke? I know they would enjoy it if they could get it to work properly.
