Looks nice, is that a direct vent pellet stove.

Definitely smoke because it only happens on startup or when turning off and there is a lot of smoke being produced.

Pellet stove, right? How is your vent pipe set up? Straight through the wall . . . straight out and up a bit? Sounds like it may be a problem with your draft.

Its straight out the wall with an OAK. The problem to me is a leak.

Could be . . . but I'm wondering if you were to add a vertical rise to the outside pipe of 3-4 feet if that wouldn't solve the problem by allowing a positive, natural draft before the stove lights up and after it stops burning?
