Wow! That's a big chunk of steel! What height of chimney are you using to create draw? Is the chimney insulated? If you are in a colder climate you can really fight against cold chimney pipes not wanting to draw upward. You may also be having issues if the design is too tight with no air intake at all.
How big of a burn have you done, and at what stage does it seem to backdraught the worst?
Sorry for all the questions, it just helps to know the bigger picture.
