Greetings. This is quite a bit OT, but I am sure there are many folks here who heat with wood, so... I have a wood-fired Tarm USA add-on boiler (my second season with it) that was installed to work together with my oil-fired Weil-McLain boiler (hot water heat). When the fire goes down too low, the oil boiler fires up and vice versa. My problem has been that the wood boiler belches a ton of smoke every time I open the door to add wood. I"ve played around with the three draft controls this thing has but with little luck. I have a fairly new chimney (built 2002, last cleaned this summer) which this boiler shares with a woodstove upstairs. I never have any draft problems with the woodstove. My wood isn"t top of the line (I harvest all my own) but there is still quite a bit of hardwood. Also some of the wood was cut before I installed the boiler and was cut too long, so I have to stack it vertically. If anyone out there has any experience with the Tarm units or any add-on wood units, I"d appreciate whatever info. I can get. I"ve tried something called a draft inducer (basically a fan that goes in the smokestack) at my parents" house with their setup with no luck. It gets kind of old to have to open all the windows to let the smoke out. Thanks in advance.
