Gonna jump into the deep end of the pool here and respond without reading
the other replies.

Was your exhaust *wide* open?

Totally open, 4" stack (modified, originally came with 3" stack).

That may have been the problem

Regardless of what wood you use there will always be a proportional amount of smoke/soot/etc. The more wood the more smoke. Its just that simple.

I have my best results by choking down the fire on both ends, the damper for air intake and the damper on the chimney.

I want just enough air to keep up the temperature nothing more.

I usually take an instant read thermometer and stick it into the chimney to monitor the exhaust temperature.
