Any ideas, anyone? You might try to look inside the heater where the hot air blows through. If at any time in the past you had oil leak into your heater boxes, the oil gets vaporised and then coats the inside of the gas heater (and your heater pipes). When you turn on the gas heater, you get a lot of smoke from the oil burning off. -Jim jim.macklow@sybase.com
