If a stove has been functioning properly up until this point it may be a sign of a blockage or significant creosote build up within the system and it is important to have it checked to avoid a chimney fire and the risk that accompanies.
The wood you burn will also affect your burn, it is important to burn dry, aged wood that is kept out of the elements.
