Blakes Taylor's diesel heaters smoke in cabin

Hi all, we recently cleaned our heater up after a few years of use and since we have put it all back together it seems to letting out smoke and fumes into the cabin, I have looked at the basic Manual and it mentions nothing, I think it's something to do with the metal square hooked things inside the main iner housing I can.t remember how they were prior to dismantling any help would be most appreciated as fan heaters give us condensation on the windows thanks as alwaysJulian

you could try reassembling using high temp silicon as a sealer on any joins!

works for the exhaust on my car!
