Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but my hot water burner is smoking pretty good and thought I might need to fix it. I am hoping it isnt a huge problem. What do you think? As soon as I turn on the burner it starts to smoke out of the seems. At last check it was still producing hot water, but I have quit using the hot water for the time being to avoid any worse damage. Any ideas or suggestions on maintenance or repairs would be appreciated, I can't go to long with out hot water. If it means anything its a Beckett Burner. Thanks for the help.
 
Check to see if you are getting adequate airflow. You will prob. need to pull the coil and wash it, then re-insulate it. If the coil is clean and there is no soot buildup on the surface you may need to adjust the air bands, too much air=smoke too little air=smoke righ amount=no smoke. Prob just sooted up though. You can always call if you need more assistance.
 
Thanks Paul, I am gonna take a closer look tonight and see if I can do something about it. I may take you up on that phone call if I get in trouble with it.
