Been there, done that. STINKTY stuff!!!
At least the new burners burn a bit cleaner and there is less sulphur

The exhaust is meant to be outside the house?


New ones have no odor and are efficient. I replace my boiler about 7
years ago. I tracked oil use and degree days and I'm saving about 38%
with the new one and the exhaust is minimal to the existing flue.
It was on this newsgroup that I leaned about it fro Chris, the Stormin

Even old oil boilers don't smell if the flue is placed somewhere sensible, like a chimney on top of the house. They're all like that here, never smelt any oil fumes ever.
