Built house this year. Wood burning fireplace with gas starter.
Flue is OPEN. Chimney is not drawing smoke efficiently. It's not all billowing into the house of course but plenty of smoke is visibly entering our living space and tripping the smoke alarm.
Any suggestions as to what the issue may be? We've notified the builder but I'm stumped as to what the problem is? Could the flue be undersized relative to the firebox?
