Hi.  I have a woodburning stove in my basement and I usually have no
problems at all with it.  But every now and then, when I light it,
within five minutes it creates a large amount of smoke into the house.
I have to put out the fire.  I am using a synthetic "fire starter".
Does anyone know what could be causing this intermittant problem?
Thanks,
Mike
