    If you are rebuilding one of those (I've only done on and not the same one) I'd get at least 2kg probably more of fire cement. So yes they do use a lot.

    However if they are running well with the chimney providing a good draw then even with gaps it won't smoke unless the wind blows down the chimney. So I'd start by giving the chimney a good sweep and trying again.

    Ours always starts to smoke when the chimney needs sweeping.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    As said on the previous post the range will not smoke if the chimmney is clean. It is important also that the vents down the right side of the oven are clean and the soot scraped out through the bottom cap under oven door.Make sure that the vent from flue outlet at top of range to bottom of oven on left is clear.

    lf it smokes with main damper open the problem is generally the chimmney. If it only smokes with damper closed then the problem is likely to be the oven smoke vents at side or to the vent to the flue.

    Remember a fire needs air. Airtight doors and windows can cause problems as well as being dangerous due to Carbon monoxide!!!!!!!!

    As stated above. Start with the elbow bend that comes out from the chimney, clean it/scrap it out. Follow it then with the chimney sounds like a drawing issue. The damper should never be shut solid, always leave it slightly open a few mill and the wheel on the bottom door of it has one never spun tight.
