: : I would start with combustion air and gas pressure. If this is new check orifice sizes. This is a very dangerous situation. It should not be run until resolved.

The boiler is in an open unfinished basement, that is damp and dirty all the time. Gas pressure in the manifold is 3.5 w.c. Does the gas pressure need adjustment higher or lower in the smartvalve?
What about a draft inducer, or dropping vermiculite around the chimney liner between it and the brick?
