I just joined the forum and this is my first post. This winter will be the third season in this house. There was a Federal Airtight in the basement when I bought it and I've never had a wood burning stove before. Every time I have tried to have a fire in it, smoke pours out of the front doors and into the room. I've tried: Cleaning the flew (no obstructions), opening and closing all the vents, opening the floor grates, opening the flew pipe, opening what I think is the cat., and cracking the basement door. Nothing helps. My basement is finished and we spend a lot of time down there and it would be nice to have a fire in the winter.
I've also attached a link to a picture.

Any help would be appreciated!
