Are you blocking the hole on top somehow?
They changed how much smoke they make, and this made old smoke pipes choke it.

Also are you running any mods?

JUst watched a video about smoke particles. Think the same dynamic as for general fires applies. It has to have a large space in back to vent the smoke. That space needs to be about 4' across in game scale. Watching the video on it was pretty amazing.

I have not had problems with the black been blocked off yet.
My back is blocked, and the top is fully free and it runs fine.
