Huge? Does it mean yellow and lazy?
Sounds like a lake of air intake. Is the combustion blower runing fine? Door gaskets OK? Sufficient (and free) fresh air pipe?

What you describe is a 'non-vacuumed' fire. It means that combustion fan doesn't suck fresh air across the burn pot as it may does.
Is exhaust free fron ash?
If the burn pot is drilled, are the holes clear?
Are removable plates and all gaskets well seated?
Edit : Former Farmer was fastest than me.
