I have a Becket Model "A" "AF" and it was rumbling when I tried it and the fan ran smooth before the rumbling stated. Now I get smoke from it around the the burner. Can anyone explain what might be happening?

    you need an oil burner tech. could be something is plugged, could be something is out of adjustment and it just barely worked and different weather or something pushed it to the point where it doesn't work now.

    A Beckett that is operating properly does not "Rumble" or "Make Smoke". What is happening is you have a burner that needs professional attention. Do Not operate it any more because all that smoke is making the repairs needed more complicated.

    Do you have the recommended annual maintenance for your oil burner heating system? It may be a good time to start on an annual maintenance program with a qualified professional.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Where are you located? This is not DIY.

    This really isn't something you want to try on your own. You need an experienced technician with the proper test equipment. This may not be an easy fix. Even if it is the burner needs to be properly calibrated or your issues will just get bigger and more expensive.
