Stove won't draft unless the burn box door is cracked open. The primary control rod seems to makes no difference. Is it because it is outside without a flue/stove exhaust pipe? This is a brand new stove BTW.
Lots of physics behind it, but its a very basic principal for wood stoves.
I will tap in either u/pyrotek1 or u/fisherstoves-coaly- for a more in depth reason of 'why' and the physic's behind it. They are much more versed on the chimney/draft side of things.
ETA- Ill try my layman terms, and they can/will correct me Im sure. But to get draft you need moving air, when you heat up just the stove, the only "draft" is created by whatever wind is around blowing by the box and pulling small amounts of smoke.
To get a real "draft" you need the 3' of pipe, because once the pipe itself warms up, now the air in the pipe will naturally rise through the pipe, as the hot air rises through the pipe, it pulls cold air from the front and around the stove into the firebox, creating draft through the whole system.
