Fireplace??????????
My house has a fireplace which is approximately 13 years old. (the house is 13 years old). Anyway, when I build a fire in the fireplace there is smoke in the house. What could be wrong with it? Could it be clogged up or something. It is a Marco Fireplace. Thanks
How do I know if my chimney is clogged? And what do I do about it if it is? thanks

Are you positive the flue is completely open? Get a flashlight and look up the chimney. There is a gate called a flue that can be closed when not using the fireplace. Other than that, it could be carbon or soot deposit slowing the flow, or even nests or dead animals clogging it up higher.
