stove flue/smoke issue

    Hi Folks hoping someone might have a good idea of what to do here, im at a loss, ive had my stove for over 2 years, ive had several issues with smoke coming back into the room, as you can see in the pictures the flue joints are in terrible condition from having to cement them again and again.

    The draw of the smoke is probably not strong enough, smoke comes into the room no matter what i do, even after its been cleaning by the sweep it still allows smoke into the room.

    Ideally the flue would be better coming from the back and straight up rather than 2x45s and then going straightm however its not really an option the stove would have to come into the room too much and its already sticking out from the fireplace.

    i was thinking that maybe have a straight length from the top, then the 45s might give it a better draw but at this point id love to hear anyones suggestions.

    Keep in mind there is 2 bends in the chimney itself which would effect the draw.

    The 45 degree bends are far from ideal by right they shouldn't be there.
    Did you try opening a window when the stoves lit.
    Is there a extractor fan in the same room.
    What way is the flue connected in chimney is it just pushed up or is there some sort of transition fitting.

    If you are exiting from the top of the stove as you are, you must have a vertical rise of minimum 600mm before the first bend. The velocity of the poc's is greatly reduced.

    thanks for the replies, this is the best pic i can get of the connection to the flue. not sure what that connection is. connects to the flue its not just shoved up into the chimney.
    Window never made a difference, there is a room vent going outside thats it.

    600mm is possible but it would have to go at a slight angle and not straight or it would have to go through the plinth, cant do that.
    maybe its possible to do something with a slight angle so it can lean back?
