Tank vs. fireplace conflict?

[MMAX]

My tank is in the same room as my wood burning fireplace. I've lost count of the number of times I've smoked out the room--pain in the ass to heat the chimney. I always wondered myself if the smoke would have any effect on the tank but haven't had any problems.

my kids tank is in the same room as our wood burning fire place which heat our house almost all the time. what you can do is turn your furnace fan on to constant and whar the retur vet is go to the top of the wall and cut a hole place a grate over. Then make sure that your furnace is drawing return air from that hole insted of down at floor level. This will drop tha mabient temp level and heat the whole house better

Take off the bottom clean out on your chimney and run a hair dryer or heat gun up the chimney till you start a good draft then light your stove up.

Yeah, I figured that one out earlier on this year...only filled my room with smoke once this winter.
