Sounds like your combustion fan is not working or the exhaust pipes are plugged
When was the stove and chimney given a full cleaning ?

 

[racedad]

pipes are all clean, cleaned the entire stove, the combustion fan is running, maybe not up to speed?

 

[johneh]

From what you are describing the fire is not getting enough air .
I really don't know your stove but expect someone
who does will be along shortly good luck

 

[racedad]

well i'll check that out , thanks for your time sir

Have you cleaned the combustion fan? Often they get an ash build up on the blades, which can significantly reduce fan efficiency.
