Mark, are you experiencing exceptionally humid weather? I have noticed that
if it is very humid, and the winds are calm to light, I will get a back
draft down my chimney. Sometime it is more pronounced when we have windows
open and there is cross ventilation pulling air in through you
chimney.....dampers are not a tight seal.....

Subject: [Shop-talk] unnerving burnt smell
I'm getting a very unnevering burnt wood smell in my family room that I
cannot find the source of. (I haven't run the table saw or the
fireplace in quite a while.) It's very faint and not continuous. While
I do have a gas water heater in the basement/garage, I'm worried about
something electrical. The house is 19 years old.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can find the source
before it becomes disasterous? I guess I'll pull all the outlets in
that part of the house this weekend to see if there are any issues.
Thanks,
Mark Noakes
