The smoke does not come out your clean out unless your chimney is plugged but rather it comes in down the chimney of your heating appliance when the fire place puts the house in a negative. What you need besides a proper liner is also a means of introducing combustion air for your fire place to prevent the negative situation

If that's true then an open window should improve the air flow.
