why does my chimney smoke

The most common cause of smoke coming from the chimney is improper installation or a crack in the chimney that has been left unrepaired. The cracks allow air and gases to escape, which creates pressure and causes smoke to come out of the top of the house. Another reason for this issue could be a bird or animal that died in your chimney and has been decomposing inside it for days, weeks, months, years, decades.
