We had s...John. We can echo your log burner problem<br />We had so much smoke in our house on Saturday, that come Sunday we chose not to light the burner<br />On Monday morning after a phone call our landlord came to help de coke all the pipework<br />The u bend outside was almost completely blocked with cresote & the pipework also contained a lot of this stuff<br />The quantity we removed filled a 5 litre bucket<br />Hardly surprising. This was the 1st time we had cleaned the pipework in 2 winters<br />Note to ourselves.Do this job twice in every heating season<br /><br />PS.
