Hi everyone, new here

Him having problem with air flow from my fireplace ( bot chemney) 1 first floor living and woodstove basement.

I tried plugging every airway from bathroom kitchen etc.

Tried cracking windows/back door open, not better.

Still have smoke inside ( often after 1h+ of fire it gets worst)

Im thinking that my chemney on the roof should be higher to fight the draft around other houses.

In basement i installed a liner so air flow should be good, 1 bend 90* in house

Living room straight up chemney no liner, square brick and mortar chemney. Fireplace

Any thoughts on this problem? thanks alot
