Follow-up to discussion a month or so back, see link if interested.
Went down to the basement a few days ago and did not see anything obviously amiss with the furnace, but still stinking up the house. Went over to the supply house and got a new oil filter and nozzle which I would have done anyway as part of fall start-up. Replaced both and fired furnace up---No Smell. Going to have to bring a professional out and check the set-up one of these days. Old nozzle was really sooted up, which doesn"t seem like it should happen in just a single heating season. It was the correct nozzle for the furnace though. Problem is finding a pro who even knows what he is looking at and has the equipment to do it right. Know one guy, but he has such a miserable personality I am not sure I can stand to pay him. Anybody want a cup of coffee to come look at this.
