Running a woodstove on unseasoned wood with air turned way down is apt to contribute to fouling the chimney, potentially leading later to a chimney fire. If you see smoke coming from the chimney well after startup, that's an indication of incomplete combustion from wet wood or a stove simply not running hot enough. Smoke from the chimney is only part of what enters the chimney.
