You said you had them cleaned.Could it be something they left in them causing it?I have a Colman downdraft in a 46 ft park model and at first when the cold weather starts you can snell the dampness for a bit but it leaves after a short time.

she needs to not stay there then.... J.M.O.

that makes me think that thats flue gas, something with the B-vent or heat exchanger

... Makes her eyes burn.... maybe your combustion air is restricted or your stack has blockage .. Check your fire.

cleaning was about a month ago though, been through -30 since then with no smell....

the gf is going to go through the place and pull all the vents off when the furnace isnt running and see if any of them are giving a cold draft when its not pushing air or giving off a smell, then she's going to check them all for flow when its blowing to see if one isnt pushing like it should, i will have to check the chimney when i get home if she hasnt called someone to go look by then....

thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated

Is your fire lazy & more orange. When U take the front cover off can you feel cool air near the top of your unit, U should have a spout above your blower.

nope.

... U no doubt are well aware of the quality of some service personel, not sayin this is the case.

 

[TABSTER]

correct me if i am wrong.... i think what mike is trying to say to you is does the flame change color and gets bigger or change when you remove the furnace combustion cover. this being it is getting more combustion air.

How good is your fire insurance???????

 

[plio7]

i cant check the flame with the cover on though have to take it off to lift the door to see inside, the flame is more orange than blue when running, gf says she can feel a cold draft when its blowing but no when its not....atleast i think thats what she said......here are pics of the old POS

thinking about the chimney thing, i really have to take a look at it, gf said she put bounce sheets in the vents to block the smell and the ones closest to the furnace and blackish....i'm guessing soot beings propane burns a little dirtier

 

[BIGFOOT]

If she feels a cool draft when running & not when blower is off... combustion air intake is working fine. I would check the stack as you maybe restricted on the exhaust side. Could you have one your buds check the roof top exhaust port for her ?
