I have a similar set-up, only I set my circulator to run all the time, and unhook the gas boiler. The wood fired unit is a HS Tarm as well. I have the same situation, which is draft related. Two things that seem to help.
1. Adjust the "damper" plate on the left hand side chamber - when the smoke leaves quickly, so does the heat
2. Keep the chimney very clean - the Tarm seems to soot up the chimney far faster than a woodstove, probably due to the reburning of wod gases built into the design.

On very cold days, the back smoke is much less, leading me to believe that it is draft related.

Let me know if I can be of help - I'm no expert, but my eyes have been filled with smoke a time or two.

Good luck,

Bill
