Read how we handle itWhat pulls or pushes smoke in Beverly Hills
Large Beverly Hills living rooms often have wide, tall fireplace openings that look grand but are too large for the flue above them. That mismatch is a classic cause of smoke spilling at the top of the opening, and a smoke guard or glass doors usually cure it without changing the look much. Inland enough to lose the coastal damp quickly, the hillside lots still catch Santa Ana gusts that can stall a fire's draft. Kitchen hoods and powerful HVAC systems in larger homes can also pull air down the chimney.
