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
Mormon.

Older oil furnaces made a bit of an oil smell inside the house too,
as the firebox was not 100% sealed. They drew fresh air from inside
the house and exhausted it up the chimey - which alsoi had a damper

I find it amusing the way yanks say "furnace" instead of boiler. A furnace is a huge commercial device, like the things for burning refuse.
