Boy, this is an intriguing problem!
1. the fire goes out, but will revive (if in time) when ash door is opened. Which acts like air starvation even though the air inlets are open. HMMM.
2. some thing is not working as designed if you have to open the ash door to get enough air, possibly some inner air ductwork that normally feeds air to the fire. But why would it work sometime (daytime) and not at night???
3. is there an electric controlled damper somewhere (I know you would know if there was...just puzzling this out) that gets turned off with the lights...but that should restore draft if you turned the lights back on to check on the fire!
4. if the flue is all metal and mostly outdoors, I could see the damper, colder night air chilling the chimney, discouraging draft, but you have indicated that the metal flue was a liner in some older construction...hmmm.
5. is there any other flue-using appliance connected into this flue?
Thanks for a fun puzzle that should be simple physics in operation! Best of luck solving this and I hope you share what the solution is, if any. Leo in NE Iowa burning junk wood from around an old farmstead...processing it for the retirement exercise.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
