Reverse airflow, where smoke or fumes push back down into the room instead of rising.
When chimney draft reverses, combustion byproducts travel down the flue and into the living space. Typical culprits: a cold flue, a blocked cap, negative house pressure from exhaust fans, or a taller competing flue. Because the risk is CO, schedule a diagnostic immediately.
