It burns very clean … It burns very clean for the most part, but when the fuel and air are turned off there is a short period of smoke. This is due to a little oil being left in the oil pipe, when the air is turned off the heat from the furnace goes back up the oil pipe and causes the oil to expand and run into the furnace when there’s no air to allow it to burn. By removing the assembly as it’s turned off this smoking can be reduced to a second or two.
