- Burn a piece of newspaper to establish a draft.
- Use additional newspaper if necessary.
- First make sure the air control is fully open. If additional air is
needed, a small crack in the doors is all that is needed.
- Chimney height and outside conditions can negatively affect draft. In
these cases a small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding
more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.
- See the section on "Selecting Wood" for details.

- With the electric power confirmed to the furnace and the thermostat
turned up full, check that the control arm is at bottom of slot in the
primary air control housing.
- If the arm is not near the bottom of the slot, the primary shutter may
be stuck or the motor is malfunctioning.
- This is normal. The blower will come on when the furnace
supply plenum is heated up enough to turn on fan limit.
- Check the household breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.
- See the section "Door Glass / Gasket Replacement" for details.
- Demand from thermostat constantly exceeding output of the
furnace.
- Primary air shutter always in the full open position.
- Has the chimney had time to get hot?
- Is there adequate supply of combustion air?
- Is the outside air damper opened?
- Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance or
chimney?
- Is the smoke flow impeded by too long of a horizontal pipe or too
many bends?
- Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to a tress or a
higher roof?
