Answer

The answer is **downwards; upwards**.In a convection apparatus, the hot chimney heats the air inside it. This heated air becomes less dense and rises, creating an upward draft. The smoke is carried along with this rising air. Conversely, in the cold chimney, the air is denser and sinks, creating a downward draft. The smoke will be pulled down with this sinking air.
