Need some friendly advice… it’s cold and this is a temporary fix at daughters house until we get an outside wood stove or have hvac installed..
Put this in a couple days ago, but it’s been smelling of smoke in the house, and some smoke came out of cracks in the bend of pipe.. not enough pull or updraft I’m sure, but how to make it better to keep them warm..?
Pipe is obviously wrong, but what can help with this..? Thanks in advance

This is my first wood stove, glad to have found this group. I apologize in advance for the length of this post! So many questions, absolutely open to any advice, constructive criticism etc.
We have a regency woodstove, in an 1100 square foot cabin.
Its quite small, 16" logs are really tough to fit, so we cut them down to around 12" generally.
Most of the stove pipe is outside, probably about 15' from the tee to the top.
From the stove is approximately 6' of single wall, 4' vertical to a slow 90 (2x 45° to feed into the wall tee going outside.)
I replaced the rope seal when we installed, all stove pipe is sealed as well. It is all firebricked inside.
First issue is the burn time, its very, very short. We have tried bone dry (3-5year dry) logs, semi-dry logs... we're topping this thing up pretty much hourly. In our area we have Pine, spruce, fir and paper birch widely available. We are still experimenting with the pipe flue and the airflow adjustment (ours is a rod that pulls a plate underneath the stove open/closed)
I have a moisture meter for wood, I haven't been checking any of the logs as I don't know what's ideal anyways.
Second issue is lighting. I know NOW its best to have most of the pipe inside where it can stay warmer and promote a healthy updraft, unfortunately, the majority of the chimney pipe is on the outside of the house. Winter temperatures where we live get down to a consistent -25°C to -30°C and spikes down to -40°C.
As of now, Im pulling the cleaning plate off the bottom of the piping outside, and using a tiger torch to pre-heat the piping for a few minutes until my wife lights the fire inside. Otherwise we have a negative draft in the stove, flowing down the pipe and out the stove when open.
Has anyone installed a better pre-heat system, like an automatic torch with a bbq lighter... I tried hooking a 6" inline duct fan to the bottom of the pipe outside, but it only blows harder out of the stove, instead of creating the upward draft we're seeking.
I haven't really gone through the inside of the stove at all, one of the tubes that hold the heating plate falls down from one side on occasion, but is easy to put back and doesnt move the heat plate
Thanks so much for reading, looking forward to reading any comments, trying any suggestions and generally just learning more about heating with wood!

I put this stove into our house over the summer while my friends and I were building the house. We’ve been burning pretty steadily through this Montana winter so far. Last night I got it going a little hotter than normal and boom. This happened. Why did this happen and what can I do to avoid it? We burn pine as it’s what’s available. My wife pointed it out to me that she could really smell smoke in the back room. I was sitting right next to the stove and didn’t notice a thing until she pointed out embers falling outside in the front yard. I even got into the attic to make sure everything was okay with the pipe there and no problems. Please help

Can someone help me understand why this is so bad???
We've only had it going one month. The pipes were clean. We are burning wood that was cut over a year ago.

Edit
I understand pipes are upside down.
The pipes are flipped the correct way now. It is 3 feet above the roof. I know it doesn't look like it in the picture.

New cast iron for the stove. Smells so good in my house! See below…
For those asking, everything is all natural, I do not use any oils. This is only water and spices.
This is what I have left over from last year. I used whole star anise, whole allspice, berries, and whole cinnamon sticks.
I usually add a couple slices of dried orange peel, but I was out.
I did just re-order everything listed above as well as some bay leaves, and some dried apple slices.
I scored the pot on an auction website for like $12 but they have them all over the Internet. They are called woodstove steamers. Or woodstove humidifiers.
It’s good for adding moisture to the air. I use my woodstove every day. It is 98% of my heat for the whole year. I burned about 4-5 cords of wood a year.
I live in the US, in California.

For all of you folks saying you don't need a damper in your pipe, how are you stopping all of the heat going right out your chimney?! I've had wood heat my entire life and there has ALWAYS been a damper, sometimes even 2, in the pipe.
***ETA For Clarification***
My stove is an old Fisher Grandpa Bear; my chimney is almost 30ft of block.

Any one have a good idea on how to prevent this? Only happens in the cap chimney is clear all the way to the bottom. I burn only seasoned hard wood stored under cover. Probably 25 feet of pipe. Primary heat source so I burn a bit of wood. This is a few months of use, yes I know suppose to clean every month but with snow on the roof can’t get to it safely that regularly.

Hey guys and gals.
Been lurking here for a while and this is my first post.
Got this (the Findlay) about 10 years ago and cleaned it up as best I could without tearing it apart. I'd love to have it inside, but no insurance company will touch it. It lives in the garage on the big skateboard and gets rolled into the alley every now and then for a fun day.
The blue guy is a Vogelzang that isn't as pretty anymore. It lives in the backyard.
There are several more in various spots. I seemed to have a little bit of a stove addiction for a couple of years.
I have a gorgeous little very ornate Hamilton parlor stove in my back porch I'll dig out for a picture when it's a little warmer. I thinking have six in total. Three or four get used once in a while.
Cheers from Manitoba

Does anyone know why/how the ceiling would catch fire while using a wood stove? My step-dad made a fire last night, as he’s done often in the past 4 years of living here to keep warm, and last night the ceiling caught fire. Thankfully everyone was awake and it was caught early, my husband and him managed to put it out with a water hose before the fire crew even arrived, but I’m so curious to know how it even happened in the first place…
Edit to add - Thank you for those being kind. He/we did not install this, this is a rental house and using the wood stove was encouraged by landlords to help save on utilities.
It has been cleaned/swept within less than a year.
Attached a pic of what it looked like before.
