I have a stovery in a trailer house. Was installed earlier today. Basically there is the stove and a metal chimney vertically going straight up through the ceiling and the hole chimney is roughly 7 feet long. It extend about a foot or a foot and a half outside the roof.
My problem is it seems like I'm not getting enough oxygen. I have built 3 separate fires in 8 hours. Each fire dies within an hour or 2. Been using 3 to 5 split logs of seasoned wood (1 to 3 years old).
And some paper kindling.
The wood takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get going with the door open. An inch or two. Then I leave the air sliding door at the bottom open all the ways. After 15 or 20 minutes I shut the main door, cuz the fire is strong. In about aboUT 5 or 10 minutes the fire is noticeably lost at least 20% efficiency. So I open the door. It's strong again. So I shut the door. Repeat. Etc.
What is wrong? The smoke upon startup goes away within 20 minutes. The logs are position with wedges facing each other neatly so encouraging flame....no smoke coming into the house....etc
The unit gets hot but refuses to radiate heat more than a foot out. So the room is like 40 degrees with the fire going.

I'm thoroughly stumped
