Lighting the fireplace causes some smoke to drift into the room, before the fire is hot/large enough to cause a strong draft.

There are also some times when the wood is a dud and takes a long time to start.



Specifically until the chimney is hot enough. You can speed up the process though by using a fresh air intake for the stove rather than it using the air in the house.
