I thought it was a little shallow but it’s not deep like the huge houses on tv. But a fire log rack? Fits in there

Yeah. But just barely right?

No a good 4 inches on both ends and 2 front and back? Idk if that is barely?

Yeah. I think you may have a coal fireplace. Good news and bad news in this article. But my guess is that it wasn’t designed for the size fore you are trying to use it for and so the chimney is simply overwhelmed.

Definitely not that small. 2 to 3 times as wide as that
