Smoke pours out of the front of my new outside masonry fireplace. While the smoke does rise through the chimney, a large amout of smoke also comes out the front continuously. The firebox is approximately 72" wide at the opening, 34" high, and 38" deep. The rounded masonry ceiling rises approximately 18" to the 8-foot chimney which is comprised of 17" x 17" masonry flues that are each 2' long (a total of 4 flue pipes= 8'). The chimney is in the center of the firebox.
The fireplace is located approximately 35' from the closest point in my residence to the north. The masonry residence has 10' ceilings with a 10pitch hip-style roof. The 2 adjacent residences are approximately 50' away to the south and west.
The mason temporarily added an additional 2'-17" flue to the chimney (10' total) with no reduction from the smoke pouring out the front.
Any suggestions?
