The flue runs from the top of your fireplace opening through the chimney to outside air. Here are some of the most common issues that cause drafting problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blockage \u2013 If your damper is open, but your chimney still smokes all of the time, there is likely something blocking your chimney. This could be an animal nest (birds, bees, raccoons, squirrels, etc.) or extreme creosote buildup.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fluesbrotherskc.com\/dampers\/\">Damper malfunction<\/a> \u2013 Perhaps your damper is open, but it isn\u2019t opening all the way.<\/li>\n<li>Improper chimney height \u2013 If your chimney is less than 10 feet at its highest point, it may not be able to draw air properly.<\/li>\n<li>Chimney size \u2013 If the chimney is too small for the firebox, smoke cannot draft up through the chimney.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-209-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-209-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-209-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Damper and Chimney Flue Inspection<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a drafty chimney, Fluesbrothers can help.
