You have to prime the chimney first, get some warm air flow with a piece of lit newspaper, once the air draws up you can light the wood and it shouldent smoke you out if you leave the doors open

Same thing as a fireplace in your home, if you dont get the updraft going in the chimney youll fill the house up with smoke
