smoke inside the house

ok bear with me on this. like most i get some smoke when i open the doors on my wood burning fireplace(fmi c42lh) it has a metal chamber around the firebrick and a power fan underneath, to "move the heat into the room" i have outdoor vent into the chamber and a 2" hole from the chamber into the fire box. i think if i create a larger hole 4" and run my air source (metal flex pipe) directly into the fire box i would get much better combustion and alleviate my smoke problem. i have noticed a"violent" flame inside the box when i have the doors closed. i would also like to install duct work from my fan to the back and the to the top of the fireplace all inside this metal chamber. looks like there is room for this this should move a better draft of heat thru the top vent and into my room. OK guys what do you think. tim
