I read the replies. Now I'm not an expert but here is my take. chimney is on the south
side. as the sun comes up, the chimney heats up causing more draft. Not sure what type of
chimney it is but it Must be insulated all the way to the top. If it has an insert in it my
guess is that cold air is getting in-between the insert and original chimney. This makes it
get cold and you loose your draft.

Now you say if you open the ash drawer the fire will take off and burn till it's gone?
That tells me that the problem is with the air intake. But you mentioned 2 things you did
not just open the ash tray. something about not running it through the catalyst but just
strait up into chimney. I would open ash tray and if it works then there is something wrong
with your auto damper. I think it may be hooked up in reverse, Sun comes up and shines on
it heating it up and now it is open. sun goes down and cools off and closes it. Not sure
what type of stove or damper control you have but if it works with ash drawer open then it
is your damper closing when cold instead of when hot.

Chimney in the attic must also be insulated well or when the sun goes down there is to much
cold in the attic and cools the chimney and same problem. If you are opening the catalyst
and it burns it is because it takes more draft to draw through the catalyst than strait up
a chimney.

I would start with the air intake location and find out for sure it is open into the stove
when evening comes. because you say it burns when ash tray open tells me it is only the
intake and not your house being sealed or a cold chimney.
good luck and let us know what you find.
