First time ever using one.  I am taking care of a friends house and know nothing about them, can't find a manual etc..



My question is, do they normally let off a stron smoke smell into the house?  I didn't know if I needed to adjust the flute or what, but to me, it just smells smoky.  That may be how it normally is, like I said, never used one and don't know???

Should not smell smoky. The pipe is leaking.

Yeah they don't really smell at all something is wrong.  Hearth.com forums are a good resource

Is this something that lets of carbon monoxide.  I'd really not care to wind up dead in my sleep.

Dude, use your head!  If you are smelling a heavy smoke smell it isn't safe to use it.

Is the exhaust fan running?

I believe so.  I'm thinking it is the seams on the piping behind it.  I was going to wait until its dark and try the flashlight thing..
