It’s my first time having a chimney, they told me how to use it, but.. today we made a test with 2 small woods, I pull out the lever (red circle) close all doors and it turned really really smoky inside, and after some time the smoke started to get inside the house!! (from the back of the chimney) Still smells after 8 hours… I fully opened the lower door (lower arrow) and the smoke started to go up, so.. what i did wrong?!, lever is suppose to be pull out right?, should i always need to keep the lower door fully open (as in picture)?. Upper arrow is also possible to open a bit, but it was close the whole time. Any suggestions?
