WE got a new gas fire into a new house a few years ago. We only use the room and the fire on certain occassions. After the fire has been on for a while, we notice there is a 'sooty' smell in the room but no real smell of gas. Has anyone else had the same problem? The installing plumber has spoken about a smoke patch test. He also asked re chimney and how clean it is but I understand the 'anti-bird' contraption on the top was put on straight away after chimney construction. Of note we have seen some kind of device on another house in the same development with a H type thing on the top and ? if the 'pull' up the chimney was a problem.
