Having furnace problems...
Lots of fumes, smoke, and soot down there today. I opened the windows up in the basement and went to work. Came home and closed everything up. Went back down a few hours later and it was bad again. That's when I noticed the soot all over the basement and all over the furnace. I brought the CO detector down there and it instantly shot up from 0 upstairs to 44 down there next to the window. The furnace kicked back on and I watched soot coming out of it I saw enough so I turned it off. Maybe 30 seconds later the smoke detector down there went off for the first time.
Could this have anything to do with burning the diesel? Is my chimney probably plugged up?
It's warm tonight so we're going without heat, but I'll probably give the pellet stove a whirl tomorrow...it's been awhile since I've ran it.
