Hi All,

I've just completed installing a new small (3kW) wood burning stove in
an old chimney, including a chimney liner. Everything seemed OK, and
the fire was lit for a couple of hours yesterday (and made nasty paint
smells, but apparently that's normal.)

However, today I've had it going on full blast for an hour and a half
or so and the fire alarms in my house started going off. I can't
see any smoke leaking out anywhere and all the joints and seals seem
fine so I don't understand what's going on. The alarms carried on
going off until I'd opened all the doors and windows and closed down
the fire. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Adam

I think there are two types of alarms; those that react to smoke and those
that react to smokeless combustion. What have you got.
