What does it mean when the Room fills with smoke whenever you burn wood in fireplace?
Something is preventing your fireplace from drawing. The damper may be closed, or partially closed. Your chimney may have a blockage, or you may have prevailing winds that push smoke back down the chimney. If you have air flow problems, such as a vent fan that draws air out of the house, it can cause that. Bottom line- if the damper is open, and the flue is not blocked, you need a good fireplace/chimney specialist to examine what you have.

This is a result of oils and paints used in production baking off or curring and should subside after the recommended burn in period has been met. It is not necessary to run it continuously to reach the recommended period. It is normal for a fireplace that has not been used for some time ( summer ) to emit a musty odor when it is first put in service. this is caused by dust in the venting and on the appliance burning off. Contributing factors like pet dander and cleaning products can add to the odor and make it quite strong. Normally these type of odors will subside after a couple hours of operation. Vent free fireplaces ( no matter what the manufacture says ) always have an odor. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home and follow local building codes or manufacturer's specifications for installing it.
